1962–63 Dundee F.C. season

The 1962–63 season was the 61st season of competitive football played by Dundee. The club finished in ninth place in Division One, as well as competing in the Scottish Cup, Scottish League Cup, and European Cup after winning the league the season prior. Dundee's European Cup run was the main focus of the season, as the Dark Blues made it to the tournament's semi-finals. They recorded large victories throughout the campaign, including 8–1 against German champions 1. FC Köln, a 4–1 win over Portuguese side Sporting CP, home and away victories over R.S.C. Anderlecht, and an unlikely win over eventual European champions A.C. Milan.[1]
