1969–70 Dumbarton F.C. season
# 1969–70 Dumbarton F.C. season

The 1969–70 season was the 86th football season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Football League, the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup. In addition Dumbarton competed in the Stirlingshire Cup.

## Scottish Second Division

Although the league campaign saw a great improvement from the previous season, the inability to take points from the 'front-runners' meant that Dumbarton were never really in with a chance of snatching a promotion place and finished in 7th place, with 40 points, 16 behind champions Falkirk.

## Scottish League Cup

The League Cup however, brought some cheer, with four wins and a draw from the six sectional games, Dumbarton qualified to meet Brechin City in a play off. A good home win after a tight draw at Brechin meant a quarter final against Ayr United, who were however to prove too strong.

## Scottish Cup

In the Scottish Cup, Dumbarton had an easy time beating non-league Gala Fairydean in the second preliminary round, but it was a huge disappointment to lose in the first round proper to Division 2 strugglers Forfar Athletic at home.

## Stirlingshire Cup

Locally, in the Stirlingshire Cup, Dumbarton reached their first final for five years, before losing out to Falkirk.
