Bill McMillan was elected as the first club president in 1972 and the clubhouse was opened by Harry Ewing MP in 1980.

For the first 25 years of the new club progress was slow and movement out of the lower league divisions difficult.

Under Manson's leadership the club won the Scottish Shield in 2007 and achieved five consecutive league championship titles between 2003–04 and 2007–08.
