1938–39 Dumbarton F.C. season
Dumbarton 1938–1939 football season
The 1938–39 season was the 62nd Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed at national level, entering the Scottish Football League and the Scottish Cup .
Scottish League
Dumbarton went into their 16th successive season in the Second Division encouraged by the positive performance from the previous campaign, and indeed with 6 wins and 3 draws from their first 10 games, it seemed that at last a challenge on the title could be mounted, but as before, the good results couldn't be maintained, and with only one win from the next 12 games the chance was gone. In the end, Dumbarton finished a disappointing 11th out of 18, with 30 points - half of that gathered by champions Cowdenbeath.[ 1]
Scottish Cup
Dumbarton fell at the 'first hurdle' in a shock defeat to non-league minnows Blairgowrie.
