Stevie Farrell has admitted that his Sons are now in a three-way fight to avoid the drop.
Defeat to Falkirk last Saturday – Dumbarton’s fifth in a row – leaves the Sons two points adrift of Peterhead and three clear of basement boys East Fife, as the battle for eighth place looks set to go down to the wire.
And Farrell said that victories for Alloa and Clyde over the weekend ensures they will both be playing League One football next season, but stressed that survival was still in his side’s own hands.
