The 1886–87 season was the 14th Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed at a national level.
Scottish Cup
Dumbarton reached their fourth Scottish Cup final full of confidence, especially having defeated Queen's Park in the semi-final, but it wasn't to be and Dumbarton lost out to the East of Scotland Shield holders Hibernian by the odd goal in three.[1]
