Dumbarton first in SPFL to have relegation confirmed

Dumbarton became the first team in the Scottish Professional Football League to suffer relegation this season after they were held to a 0-0 League 1 draw at home by Queen of the South.

It left the Sons bottom of the table, 20 points behind second bottom with only 18 points available despite Annan Athletic losing 3-1 away to Montrose.

Dumbarton would have only been five points behind but were docked 15 points in November after going into administration.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle were similarly docked 15 points but are currently three points above Annan in third bottom.

They would have been sitting fourth had they not gone into administration.
