2012–13 Dumbarton F.C. season

The 2012–13 season was Dumbarton's first season back in the Scottish First Division, having been promoted from the Scottish Second Division at the end of the 2011–12 season. Dumbarton also competed in the Challenge Cup, League Cup and the Scottish Cup.

Summary

Season Dumbarton finished seventh in the Scottish First Division. They reached the first round of the Challenge Cup, the second round of the League Cup and the fourth round of the Scottish Cup.

Management They began the season under the management of Alan Adamson. But on 22 October 2012, Adamson was sacked by the club following what was deemed a number of unacceptable results. Jack Ross took over as interim manager following Adamson's departure, while the club looked for a replacement. On 22 November, Ian Murray was appointed as player-manager. Jack Ross was named as his assistant, and he remained in charge for their game that weekend against Dunfermline Athletic.
