Season 1973–74 was the 97th football season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the 67th time, the Scottish Cup for the 79th time and the Scottish League Cup for the 27th time. == Overview == This was Dumbarton's second successive season competing in Division 1, the objective being to build on the previous season's results, and in particular to avoid any relegation worries. This was certainly achieved, and indeed by mid November there were hopes of European qualification by reaching 6th in the table. However the wins began to dry up which resulted in a slide down the league - but the final position of 10th was the best the club had achieved for over 70 years - and qualification for the Anglo-Scottish sponsored competition, the Texaco Cup the following season - although this was not to be, following a reorganisation of the qualification requirements. In the Scottish Cup, Dumbarton's interest was short-lived as they lost out to Arbroath in the third round. In the League Cup, with two wins and a draws from the six sectional games, Dumbarton qualified for the next stage in the competition, where Rangers awaited. A 6-0 thumping in the first leg was made the return fixture a formality, although losing by the odd goal in three was something of an achievement. Locally, in the Stirlingshire Cup, Dumbarton tried hard to retain the trophy they had won in the previous season, but were to lose out to Stirling Albion in the final on penalties, after a drawn game. Interestingly at the beginning of the season, Dumbarton embarked on a mini overseas tour - the first since 1922 - where they beat Spanish regional side CF Lloret. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1973–74 Dumbarton F.C. season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
