The 2024/25 SPFL League One campaign concludes tomorrow afternoon with Dumbarton making the short-trip to Ochilview to take on Stenhousemuir [kick-off 3:00pm].
Sons fate has already been confirmed due to a 15-point deduction applied against the club earlier this season, with Stevie Farrell’s side knowing they will compete in League Two next season.
For Stenhousemuir, there remains plenty to play for as they could still find themselves in fourth place come 5:00pm on Saturday evening.
The Warriors will need three points themselves and hope that Alloa slip up away to Kelty Hearts which would see them earn a shot at the Championship play-offs.
Dumbarton are one of the form teams in League One having lost just once in their last seven games, their most recent result being a 3-1 win against Annan Athletic last week in the final home match of the season, and boss Farrell hopes his players can sign off on a positive note after what has been a difficult season.
Speaking to the clubs website, he said: “I keep saying it but I cannot speak highly enough of these players for what they have given me, their teammates, the supporters and everyone involved with the club throughout what has been the most difficult season they will ever go through.
“Not one of them has downed tools at any stage in any game, and the results show that. We have largely competed week in week out and it’s all down to the players attitude and commitment. It has been a pleasure to work with each and every one of them and I hope it’s not the last time we cross paths.
“Finishing at home with three points last week was pleasing because we have struggled at home all season so to give our supporters something to cheer was great.
“It would be nice to finish with a flourish after the run we have been on over the last couple of months and we know the surface at Ochilview will allow us to get the ball down and play the game that suits us.
“Hopefully we can see a good number of supporters making the journey to support the team because the players deserve the acclaim for what they have given the club this season.”
