1935–36 Dumbarton F.C. season
Dumbarton 1935–1936 football season
The 1935–36 season was the 59th Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed at national level, entering the Scottish Football League and the Scottish Cup . In addition Dumbarton competed in the Dumbartonshire Cup .
Scottish League
Dumbarton's slump continued in their 14th successive season in the Second Division, by finishing 18th and bottom, with just 16 points - 43 behind champions Falkirk.[ 1] The transfer of Johnny Haddow to Falkirk in November was a huge loss and just one further win was registered all season. Heavy defeats were again a feature, and for the first time Dumbarton conceded over 100 goals in the league in a single season.
With there being no applicants for admission to the Second Division, the bottom two clubs - Raith Rovers and Dumbarton - maintained their league status.
Scottish Cup
This season there was a third round exit, to First Division Third Lanark.
There was some cheer when Dumbarton regained the Dumbartonshire Cup, with victory over non-league side Vale Ocaba.
