1949/50

tn_Kilmarnock (h) 24 Sep 49 New man Archie Anderson began his first full season in charge but heavy defeats such as 7-0 against Morton and 5-1 to Forfar saw the cub slide to a very poor 13th place in the league.

On the positive side there were some large victories against Forfar at home by 5-0 and Albion Rovers away by 5-3.

The Scottish Cup, as usual, proved fruitless losing 4-0 to Dundee United.
