2013–14 Dumbarton F.C. season

May 2019 May 2019 Dumbarton 2013–14 Ian Murray Bet Butler Stadium, Dumbarton Scottish Championship 5th Scottish Cup Sixth round Scottish League Cup Second Round League Challenge Cup First Round Mitchel Megginson/ Chris Kane (10) Mitchel Megginson (12) 1,469 463 931 2012–13 2014–15 Season 2013–14 was the 130th football season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the 108th time, the Scottish Cup for the 119th time, the Scottish League Cup for the 67th time and the Scottish Challenge Cup for the 23rd time. Scottish Football Almanac 2014/15 Real8 Media, Andy MacGregor 2014 Cowdenbeath 978-0-9574645-3-7 Overview The 2013–14 season was Dumbarton's second consecutive season in the second tier of Scottish football - the Scottish Championship, having been promoted from the Scottish Second Division at the end of the 2011–12 season.http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/sfl-division-two/airdrie-united-1-4-dumbarton-sons-promoted-to-first-division-1-2307960 Sons promoted to First Division The Scotsman 21 May 2012 22 May 2012 Following Ian Murray's appointment which brought about transformation in Dumbarton's fortunes the previous season. At one point there was a chance that Dumbarton would challenge for a play-off place for the Premier Division. In the end, 5th place was achieved. In the Scottish Cup, there was more good news as Dumbarton would have their best cup run in almost 40 years, and would only lose out to Premier Division Aberdeen by the only goal after a tight fought match. In the League Cup, after disposing of Albion Rovers in the first round, it would be Premier Division Dundee United that would advance, but only after a close match was lost by the odd goal in five. Finally, despite the other successes, it was no real surprise that the League Challenge Cup saw yet another first round exit, this time to Stranraer. Locally, in the Stirlingshire Cup, Falkirk would be the victors over Dumbarton in the semi-final tie.
