Overview
The near miss in gaining promotion the previous season had ensured that there was considerable confidence in the team going into season 2004-05 to make that further step. However, despite a successful opening spell, results were not as good as anticipated, and in December Brian Fairlie would make way for Paul Martin in the manager's seat. There was to be no great resurgence in results and in the end a disappointing 7th place was achieved.
In the Scottish Cup, after defeating Cowdenbeath in the first round, it would be Berwick Rangers that would advance from the second round tie, after a drawn match.
In the League Cup, Ross County would prove to be too strong in the first round.
Finally, in the Scottish Challenge Cup, it was another first round exit, this time to Stirling Albion.
Locally, in the Stirlingshire Cup, Dumbarton won one and lost one of their opening group ties, and would take no further part in the competition.
