1890: A home match was arranged against Burnbank Swifts. No further details.

1902: A player who was reckoned to be one of the finest centre halves of his day, Peter McIntyre, who had started his career with the famous Glenbuck Cherrypickers, made his Acas debut at home to Motherwell, after being signed from Sheffield United.

1995: At the Court of Session a Judge rejected an application to have an administrator appointed to control the affairs of the club. The petition was made by three companies owed money by Accies. Club Chairman, David Campbell, slammed the move as an attempt by former Chairman, Jim Watson to regain control of the club. Steps are being made to remove Mr Watson and fellow Director, Bill Donnelly from the club’s Board, as their names appeared on the petition. A third Director, Bill Davidson, whose name was also on the petition has already resigned. Both Mr Donnelly and Mr Davidson said they were not aware that their names were on the petition. The latter owns shares in the club to the value of £100, while Mr Donnelly’s company, REC Engineering of Bellshill own £50,000 worth of shares in Accies holding company entitling them to a seat on the Board of the football club. The club estimated that the appointment of an administrator would have cost them £100,000. He would have had the power to control the club’s financial affairs and remove and appoint Directors.
