Clydebank F.C. (1965)

After the club's ground was sold off in 1996, their matches were played in a series of groundshares in different towns in front of dwindling crowds.

A third club named Clydebank were formed in 1914; playing their home games at Clydeholm they immediately joined the Scottish Football League, but by 1931 they had disbanded.

ES Clydebank inherited East Stirlingshire's place in Division Two and played their home games at New Kilbowie.

The merge, which was opposed by fans of both clubs, lasted only one season, with East Stirlingshire shareholders winning several court cases against it.

East Stirlingshire reverted to its original legal status and moved back to Falkirk, parting company with the Steedman brothers.

They also reached the final of the one-off Spring Cup tournament, implemented after the re-structuring of the league, but lost 4–2 after extra time to Airdrieonians.

[4] By 1996 regulations brought in following the Taylor Report meant that facilities at New Kilbowie were no longer suitable for a professional football.

[5] During their time at Boghead Park, the Steedman family sold the club to John Hall, a Bermuda-based businessman.

After the liquidation of Airdrieonians, a consortium led by Jim Ballantyne put forward a bid to fill the vacancy in the SFL and build a new club in Airdrie from scratch.

Clydebank were the first and last senior club of the Scottish international Davie Cooper, who played for Rangers and Motherwell in the interim.

Other famous names to have played for the club at some point in their careers include Republic of Ireland international strikers Tommy Coyne and Owen Coyle, Bobby Williamson, Jim Fallon, Gerry McCabe, Jim Gallacher, Ken Eadie, England international defender Terry Butcher, and Partick Thistle cult hero Chic Charnley.
