Season 1936–37 was the 60th Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed at national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the 38th time and the Scottish Cup for the 49th time.

Overview

After the previous season's disastrous performance, Dumbarton began the new campaign with a complete clear out of playing staff. Amongst other initiatives, Dumbarton entered into an arrangement with Clyde whereby their 'second string' players would be made available for development. Initially there was a big improvement, with 6 wins and 2 draws being gained from the first 10 league games, but with the next 11 games yielding just a single point, the earlier confidence disappeared and eventually Dumbarton finished 15th out of 18, with 27 points - half of the points won by champions Ayr United.^[1]

In the Scottish Cup, there was more disappointment. The first round tie against Highland League opponents, Keith was negotiated, not without some concerns. However Dumbarton were not to be so lucky in the second round and were dumped out of the competition by non-league minnows Duns.

The only bright spot of another poor season was when Dumbarton retained the Dumbartonshire Cup with victory over amateur side Vale Ocaba.
