Dundee would enter the North Eastern Football League, which was split into Autumn and Spring Series. Dundee would impress in their first official competition in years under new manager George Anderson, winning the Autumn series, before coming 5th in the Spring series. [1] Dundee would also compete in the North Eastern League Cup in lieu of the suspended Scottish Cup, and made it to the final before being defeated by Aberdeen. [2]
