Scottish Second Division

[edit]

Another poor start to a league season, with a single win and a draw from the first eight matches, resulted in the sacking of manager Ian Spence. His replacement, Jackie Stewart took charge on 1 December, and although results were to improve, nonetheless Dumbarton finished in a disappointing 14th place, with 27 points, 37 behind champions Motherwell.

Scottish League Cup

[edit]

In the League Cup, two wins from the six sectional games were never going to be enough to qualify for the knock out stages of the competition.
