Season 1913–14 was the 37th Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed at national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the 15th time, the Scottish Cup for the 31st time and the Scottish Qualifying Cup for the 12th time.

Overview

Despite a good start which saw the club unbeaten in their first six league outings, Dumbarton finished 19th, out of 20, on their return to the First Division with 27 points, well behind champions Celtic.[1] Nonetheless Dumbarton were re-elected to the 'top flight' for the following season.

Dumbarton qualified for the Scottish Cup by reaching the fourth round of the Scottish Qualifying Cup before losing to non-league Nithsdale Wanderers. It is probably worth noting that the match against Nithsdale Wanderers was played by the Dumbarton reserves, as on the same day the first team were on league duty against Airdrie.

The Scottish Cup campaign was short-lived as Dumbarton lost out to Third Lanark in the second round.

Locally, after an absence of three seasons, Dumbarton entered the Dumbartonshire Cup but as in their previous six attempts were defeated in the final, this time by Renton.

There was also a benefit match played for long serving player Robert Muirhead, against Third Lanark.
