Matches

1907: The club had to field two teams, one to face St Mirren in a League match at Love Street, while having to play Peebles Rovers at Douglas Park in a Scottish Qualifying Cup tie. A reserve side was fielded at Hamilton in which were former players, Jim Welford and Bob Thomson as the full backs. Sandy Cowan appeared at left half. The "wee" team won 2-0 in front of just under 2,000 fans. The game at Paisley ended 2 all.

Events

1885: A Special Meeting was held in Rankin’s Hall, Townhead Street with Mr A.Lightbody in the chair. The meeting was called to consider what steps should be taken towards keeping up the club, the office-bearers and committee having resigned. It was decided by a large majority to carry on the club and arrange a new fixture card.

The following were elected as office-bearers:- President; Robert White; Vice President, George Scott; Captain, James Rankin; Match Secretary, James Bryden; Financial Secretary, John McGhie; Treasurer, Thomas Weir; Committee, Messrs Reid, Lawrie, Chalmers and McGhie.

The team that will now do duty for the club will, for the most part, be composed of young and promising players, and it is hoped that the football public will, as heretofore, turn out in goodly numbers and give the young team a chance to regain the lost laurels of the club.

1948: For the League Cup Quarter Final tie against Airdrieonians, the Directors decide that entry to the stand will be 5/-, the enclosure 3/-.

1954: John Brownlie allowed to leave on a free transfer.

1954: The Supporters Club sought permission to install a relay system to Udston Hospital. Agreed.
