Possibly the oldest Junior club still in existence and certainly among the oldest handful,[3] the club were one of the most successful sides in the game's early era and won the Scottish Junior Cup on three occasions as well as several prominent regional competitions, although since World War II they have won little and existed as a minor presence.
In 2020, it was confirmed that Vale of Clyde (along with the 62 other West Region Junior clubs) had successfully applied to join the new West of Scotland Football League in the senior pyramid.[4][5]
