Season 1993–94 was the 117th football season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the 87th time, the Scottish Cup for the 99th time, the Scottish League Cup for the 47th time and the Scottish Challenge Cup for the fourth time.

Overview

During the close season Dumbarton lost their manager Billy Lamont to Alloa Athletic, but were fortunate that at the same time former player Murdo MacLeod became available and was quickly snapped up as replacement. The new league campaign would have added importance as the league structure was once again being revised for 1994-95, with four divisions being created, and the addition of two new clubs, Ross County and Inverness Caledonian Thistle. As it was, results were up and down from the start, but while Dumbarton finished one place short of First Division football, they never really threatened that all important 7th place, finishing 6 points behind Ayr United in 8th.

In the national cup competitions, it was a case of a second successive season of falling at the first hurdle. In the Scottish Cup it would be Premier Division champions elect, Rangers, that would defeat Dumbarton in the third round. Note that the crowd at Ibrox that day would be the largest to have ever witnessed a Dumbarton match.

In the League Cup, it was Rangers again who defeated Dumbarton by just a single goal in the second round - and it would be Rangers that would lift the trophy at the end of the season.

Finally, it was a fourth time first round exit in the B&Q Cup - a disappointing defeat to Second Division Stranraer.

Locally, in the Stirlingshire Cup, competition was split into two qualifying sections, and having topped their section of Falkirk, Stenhousemuir and East Stirling, Dumbarton went on to win the trophy in the final against Alloa Athletic, on penalties, after a scoreless draw.
