Season 1933–34 was the 57th Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed at national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the 35th time and the Scottish Cup for the 46th time.
Overview
Dumbarton had their best season in the Second Division for twelve years by finishing 6th, out of 18, with 37 points – just 8 behind champions Albion Rovers. It could have been much better, particularly with just 2 home defeats, but as with some many previous seasons it was the inability to win away from Boghead which prevented any real promotion hopes.[1]
Disappointment however continued in the Scottish Cup, with another first round exit, this time to Arbroath.
Locally, Dumbarton lost the Dumbartonshire Cup to non-league Vale Ocaba.
Elsewhere 2 friendly matches were played.
