Season 1940–41 was the second Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed in regional football during World War II.

Overview

It was the intention of the Scottish League to start up operations again this season, but after the fall of France, it was decided that the League would cease all operations until the war was over. Nevertheless, it was left to the clubs themselves to organise themeselves and to this end the clubs in the 'central belt' established the Scottish Southern League. 13 of the clubs who had played in the Western Division the previous season competed, along with Falkirk, Hearts and Hibernian, who took the places of Ayr United, Kilmarnock and Queen of the South. Dumbarton finished 14th out of 16 with 24 points - 32 behind champions Rangers.

To complete the fixture list, two further competitions were introduced restricted to the 16 league members.

First a knock-out Summer Cup was played, with Dumbarton reaching the semi final before losing to eventual champions Hibernian.

Second, the League Cup South was established, beginning with 4 sections of 4 teams playing on a 'home and away' basis, followed by semi finals and a final. Unfortunately Dumbarton did not progress beyond the section prelims.
