Scottish League

[edit]

An uncharacteristic good start to the league campaign saw 5 points taken from the first 3 games, but this form was unable to be maintained and Dumbarton finished in a mid-table 10th place, 16 behind champions Stirling Albion.

Scottish League Cup

[edit]

Despite an unbeaten home record in the League Cup sectional games, with two wins and a draw - three away defeats, including a 1-11 thrashing by Ayr United (matching Dumbarton's heaviest defeat recorded in the 1925-26 season) ensured that Dumbarton finished 3rd of 4, resulting in no further progress in this competition.
