After the previous season's disastrous performance, Dumbarton began their 15th successive season in the Second Division with a complete clear out of playing staff. Amongst other initiatives, Dumbarton entered into an arrangement with Clyde whereby their 'second string' players would be made available for development. Initially there was a big improvement, with 6 wins and 2 draws being gained from the first 10 league games, but with the next 11 games yielding just a single point, the earlier confidence disappeared and eventually Dumbarton finished 15th out of 18, with 27 points - half of the points won by champions Ayr United.[1]

Scottish Cup edit

Main article: 1936–37 Scottish Cup

In the Scottish Cup, there was more disappointment. The first round tie against Highland League opponents, Keith was won, but only just. However Dumbarton were not to be so lucky in the second round and were dumped out of the competition by non-league minnows Duns.
