Dumbarton's seventh successive season in the Second Division saw their worst performance since their return to league football in 1906, but still managed a 6th place finish with 29 points, 5 behind champions Ayr United.[1]

An expansion of the First Division from 18 to 20 clubs meant that there would be at least 2 places available to Second Division clubs in the end of season election. As it was both the bottom 'top flight' clubs - Partick Thistle and Queen's Park - were to retain their places, and in addition to Ayr United, the Second Division champions, it was Dumbarton that would step up to the First Division - beating Cowdenbeath with the chairman's casting vote.
