Season 1969–70 was the 93rd football season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the 63rd time, the Scottish Cup for the 75th time and the Scottish League Cup for the 23rd time.

Overview

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.

In the Scottish Cup, Dumbarton had an easy time beating non-league minnons 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.

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.

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