Scottish Second Division edit

Main article: 1971–72 Scottish Football League

After fifty years of trying, Dumbarton at last gained promotion back to the top flight of Scottish League football, by winning the Division 2 title - their first national championship win in 60 years. However, it was not all plain sailing. With just 3 points from the first 6 games, all was not looking good at the start of the campaign, but a single defeat in the next 14 games put Dumbarton back on track. When the final game arrived against Berwick Rangers, only a win could secure the championship, while a draw would confirm promotion, with a defeat consigning Dumbarton to another season in the lower division. All went well in front of a massive 9,000 home crowd - a 4-2 win being recorded and First Division football next season.

Scottish League Cup edit

Main article: 1971–72 Scottish League Cup

The League Cup at the start of the season was, for some unknown reason, a complete disaster. After the previous season's success and a full squad to choose from, Dumbarton were unable to bring about a repeat, and with a single win and a draw from the six sectional games, there was to be no further interest in the competition.
