[3] On resuming, the club did not immediately reach their pre-war heights but towards the end of the 1950s things were improving and Glens' second Western League championship was won in 1958–59.

Interest in the club was at an all-time high and a record crowd of 8,000 crammed into Connel Park to see Glens' Scottish Junior Cup fifth round tie against Kilsyth Rangers in January 1957.

[5] Glenafton won three Western League championships in a row from 1961–62 to 1963–64, a feat never achieved outwith wartime and drew closer to the biggest prize in the game with their first Scottish Junior Cup semi-final appearance in 1962, losing 1–0 to Kirkintilloch Rob Roy at Rugby Park.

[3] Former Partick Thistle and Scotland goalkeeper Alan Rough was appointed as manager in 1990 and proceeded to lead the club to their most successful period.

With Tommy Bryce installed in charge the following season, Glens' finished a creditable third in the first combined Super League Premier Division and also won the West of Scotland Cup for the first time in their history.

Henderson left for Hurlford United on the eve of the 2013–14 season leaving Tommy Bryce, who returned to the club for a second spell, to rebuild the squad.

Bryce's remodelled side secured a top six finish and made it all the way to the Scottish Junior Cup final for a fifth time where they ironically lost out to Henderson's Hurlford team.

[17] The club had released a statement earlier announcing they would not be participating in the inaugural season of the West of Scotland League due to concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.
