The 2024–25 season is Dumbarton Football Club's first back in Scottish League One, the third tier of Scottish football, having won the Scottish League Two promotion play-offs the previous season.[1] Dumbarton are also competing in the Scottish Cup, the Scottish League Cup, and the Challenge Cup.

Story of the season

[edit]

May

[edit]

Following promotion to Scottish League One the club's first friendly was announced on May 21, with Sons facing Hebburn Town on July 6.[2] On June 23 forward Marc Kelly, midfielder Luca Vata and goalkeeper Harry Broun were released. With new deals offered to Finlay Gray, Michael Ruth, Aron Lynas and Kalvin Orsi.[3] On May 29, forward Michael Ruth who had scored 15 times the previous season, signed a new season long deal with the club.[4] However midfielders Blair Malcolm and Callum Wilson both departed the club.[5] The same day the Sons were drawn to face East Kilbride, Airdrieonians, Aberdeen and Queen of the South in the Scottish League Cup.[6] On May 31 defender Matthew Shiels became the club's first signing of the summer, returning to the club for a third spell from Cove Rangers.[7][8]

June

[edit]

Sons made a double signing on June 1 with Cameron Clark joining from Stirling Albion and Michael Miller from Broomhill.[9] Midfielder Finlay Gray[10] and winger Kalvin Orsi also agreed new season-long deals.[11] On June 7, winger Craig McGuffie became the club's fourth new addition - joining from Queen of the South.[12] The same day, winger Ross MacLean left the club - joining Forfar Athletic for an undisclosed fee[13] - but goalkeeper Patrick O'Neil signed a new season long deal.[14] On June 8 defender Aron Lynas extended his stay - signing a season long deal to take him into a third campaign with the club.[15] A third friendly of pre-season was arranged for July 2, with Sons travelling to Ayrshire to face Glenafton Athletic.[16] Mouhamed Niang was the club's next new addition, joining on a year long deal from Cove Rangers on June 19.[17][18] On June 26 defender Sean Crighton left the club to become the new head coach of Queen's Park's B team.[19] Sons' first pre-season friendly ended in a 3–2 defeat to 2023–24 League One champions Falkirk - with Jinky Hilton scoring both goals.[20]

July

[edit]

Sons' second friendly match finished in a 4–0 victory against Glenafton Athletic. Carlo Pignatiello scored a brace with Jinky Hilton and a trialist striker also on target, with all the goals coming before half-time.[21] The pre-season campaign was rounded off with another big away win, this time 6–1 against Hebburn Town in Newcastle. Again Pignatiello and the trialist striker got on the scoresheet, with David Wilson, Finlay Gray and Michael Ruth's brace completing the scoring.[22] On July 9 the Dumbarton Football Stadium was renamed The Marbill Coaches Stadium in a new sponsorship deal.[23] The first competitive game of the season finished in a 1–1 draw with East Kilbride. Kalvin Orsi getting Sons' goal, with Kilby claiming the bonus point after a 4-2 penalty shootout win. The second game in the group finished in a 2–0 defeat to Queen of the South at Palmerston Park.[24] A second defeat followed, 4–3 against Airdrieonians, in a game where Sons were 3–1 up after an hour. Finlay Gray opened the scoring, with Jinky Hilton netting a double.[25] On July 25 Swedish striker Joel Mumbongo became the Sons' sixth new signing of the summer, joining on a season long deal having left Hamilton Academical.[26] He made his debut on July 27 as the Sons' League Cup campaign ended with a 6–0 defeat to Aberdeen - with the Dons scoring all six goals in the second-half.

August

[edit]

The first league game of the new season ended in a 1–1 draw with newly relegated Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Highlands, with Carlo Pignatiello on target and Mouhamed Niang sent-off for two bookings.[27] For the second season in a row Sons started with two draws, with the first home game of the campaign ending 3–3 with Alloa Athletic. Michael Ruth netted a double, with Jinky Hilton also on target. Whilst ex-Sons Kevin Cawley and Scott Taggart both scored for the Wasps.[28] A first win of the competitive season arrived in the Scottish Challenge Cup, 4–0 against Berwick Rangers with Craig McGuffie scoring a brace. Youth graduates Panos Grivas and Jacob Shields both made their senior debuts in the match. A third straight draw in the league followed on August 17, with Mark Durnan scoring his first goal for the club in injury time to draw with Cove Rangers.[29] A fourth draw came the next week, as Sons struck twice in the final 17 minutes - and missed a penalty - in a 2–2 tie with Arbroath. Michael Ruth and Matthew Shiels got the goals. The month ended with another comeback 2–2 draw, with Mark Durnan netting twice in a tie with Kelty Hearts.

September

[edit]

September began with a 1–0 defeat to Peterhead in the Scottish Challenge Cup. On September 11 defender Ethan Brown joined on loan from Kilmarnock initially on a deal until January.[30] A sixth straight draw in the league followed on September 14, with Paul McGowan levelling in stoppage time for Annan Athletic. During the game 16-year-old goalkeeper Luke Smallwood made his debut for the club with Brett Long sent-off after 18 minutes.[31] An appeal against the red card with successful[32] with Long able to play the next game as Sons suffered their first defeat of the campaign, 1–0 to Montrose, in a match they dominated - with the away side's goal their only shot, on or off target, of the match.[33] The month ended with a 2–0 defeat to Queen of the South at Palmerston Park - with skipper Mark Durnan sent off.[34]

October

[edit]

A third straight defeat followed against Stenhousemuir on October 5, leaving the Sons winless after the third quarter. Carlo Pignatiello got the Sons' goal, with Cameron Clark becoming the fourth Dumbarton player sent-off during the season.[35] The Sons finally secured their first win of the campaign on October 19, defeating Arbroath 3-1 at Gayfield Park. Thomas O'Brien put the hosts in front, but that was cancelled out by strikes from Carlo Pignatiello, Ethan Brown and Finlay Gray.[36] Three days later the Sons moved off the foot of the table after Inverness Caledonian Thistle were deducted 15 points after entering administration, leaving them 12 points adrift of Dumbarton in League One.[37] Sons extended that gap to 15 points with victory at home to The Caley Jags on October 26, thanks to a double from Jinky Hilton and first of the season for Ryan Blair.[38]

November

[edit]

The first game of November ended in a 3-0 defeat to Cove Rangers at the Dumbarton Football Stadium. Sons dominated the first-half, but couldn't find the net, with the away side taking the lead early in the second period through a Mark Durnan own goal - which was added to by strikes from Mitch Megginson and Adam Emslie.[39] Another defeat without scoring followed, this time 2-0 against Kelty Hearts. The Sons returned to winning ways on November 16, with a 2-1 success against Queen of the South. Michael Ruth ended a 10 game goal drought with the opener, and Tony Wallace won the game with a stoppage time penalty.

On 19th November, the club entered administration and received a 15 point deduction, placing them last in the table.[40][41] Two days later, Police Scotland said that they were investigating suspected fraud at the club.[42] A fundraiser launched by the Sons Supporters Trust raised more than £75,000 towards wages and running costs within just a few days.[43] On November 23 the club's planned game with Alloa Athletic fell victim to the weather.
