Division 1 – Relegation!
It was only a matter of time before the near escapes from relegation finally caught up with the Honest Men. The club finished bottom of the league being nevertheless only 3 points from survival. Two away defeats in the last two games of the season, 6-0 by Celtic and 6-4 by Third Lanark did the damage.
In those last few weeks there was also an 8-0 drubbing from Kilmarnock in the Ayrshire Cup final, but the Honest Men reclaimed some pride with a 7-0 win over Kilmarnock a week later in the Ayr Charity Cup Final.
