Overview
Dumbarton finished 6th in the Second Division with 29 points, 5 behind champions Ayr United. Nevertheless, due in part to the expansion of the First Division from 18 to 20 clubs, both Ayr and Dumbarton were elected to the 'top flight'.
Dumbarton qualified for the Scottish Cup by reaching the semi final of the Scottish Qualifying Cup before losing to non-league Nithsdale Wanderers.
The Scottish Cup campaign saw Dumbarton disposing of First Division opponents before losing to eventual champions Falkirk in the fourth round.
