Season 1947–48 was the 71st Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed at national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the 42nd time, the Scottish Cup for the 53rd time and the Scottish League Cup for the 2nd time.

Overview

A poor start, which saw only one point taken from the first 5 league games, meant that any hopes of challenging for promotion were quickly dashed and eventually Dumbarton finished 11th out of 16 with 25 points - 28 behind champions East Fife.

In the Scottish Cup, after negotiating a tricky trip to the Highlands, Dumbarton were defeated by high flying Division b opponents East Fife in the third round.

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.

The Supplementary Cup saw Dumbarton again come up against East Fife and the outcome was the same, with the Fifers progressing to the semi final.

In the Stirlingshire Cup, Dumbarton lost out to Division A Falkirk in the semi final.

Finally a 'benefit' match was arranged against Airdrie.

Note that the number of goals conceded in all games during the season was 111, the 12th time the 'century' had been broken.
