Clyde FC is a Scottish League team formed in 1878 in the Rutherglen district of Glasgow. Originally they played at Barrowfield Park, adjacent to the River Clyde. They joined Scottish Division One in 1891-92 when the league was increased to twelve clubs.  Clyde's highest league position of 3rd was achieved on three occasions in 1908-09, 1911-12 and 1966-67. In 1935, facing financial difficulties, Clyde sold their Shawfield ground to their tenants, the Greyhound Racing Association, a decision which would have serious consequences for the club fifty years later. They ended the decade on a high note when, in 1939, they won the Scottish Cup, beating Motherwell 4-0 in the final.  During the 1950s, while unable to compete with the Old Firm clubs, Clyde laid claim to being Glasgow's third team with further Scottish Cup wins in 1955 and 1958. After finishing third in the First Division in 1966-67 the club’s fortunes declined and they have spent much of the last forty years in the second and third tier of Scottish football. They have won the Division Two title three times since the Premier League came into being, in 1977-78, 1981-82 and 1992-93.  In 1986 they were evicted from their home at Shawfield Stadium when the owners decided to concentrate on greyhound racing. After years of sharing grounds with Partick Thistle (their arch rivals - a deeply unpopular arrangement) and later Hamilton Academical, Clyde moved to Cumbernauld new town in 1994 where they struggled to attract spectators. In 2000 Clyde won promotion back to the First Division and made a serious challenge to joining the elite Premier League, finishing as runners-up in 2003 and 2004.  In 2010 they finished last and were relegated to the third tier and to the fourth tier of Scottish football, at the end of the following season. On the 20th April 2013 Clyde's owners voted to move to East Kilbride and rename the club EK Clyde F.C.  There was also a considerable improvement on the field with a play-off place secured at the end of the 2013-14 season: they lost the semi-final to East Fife. Clyde finished in the bottom two position of the Second Division for the following six seasons, before things began to improve.  They were promoted at the end of the 2018-19 season with a play-off victory over Annan Athletic.
