The League Cup saw Dumbarton again struggle to progress from their section, finishing 3rd of 4, with just 2 wins and a draw from their 6 games.

After negotiating a tricky trip to the Highlands, Dumbarton were defeated by high flying Division B opponents East Fife in the third round.

As in the Scottish Cup, Dumbarton again came up against East Fife, and the outcome was the same, with the Fifers progressing to the semi-final.
