Formed in 1884 as a Junior club, Maryhill were beaten finalists in the second-ever Scottish Junior Cup in 1887–88 and turned senior the following season. The club entered the Scottish Cup three years running from 1888 but never got further than the second round, suffering 9–3 and 7–2 defeats to Third Lanark and Linthouse respectively in 1889 and 1890.[2] Maryhill eventually returned to the Junior ranks in 1894 with some success, reaching four national cup finals in eight years. The Hill also won a wartime final in 1940.
Post-war they were not one of the bigger Junior clubs, but investment from a wealthy backer, Ronnie MacDonald, in the 1990s brought a period of success.[3] The team plays at Lochburn Park, and has done since 1897. Club colours are red and black.[4]
The club received national news attention in April 2017 when Gavin Stokes scored the fastest goal on record in world football history in a home game against Clydebank, with his advance to the top corner from the midline timed at 2.1 seconds
In June 2019 it was announced that ICW (Insane Championship Wrestling) was to sponsor the club.[5]
Mark Young was appointed the club's new manager on 26 May 2022,[6] replacing Ross Wilson who departed for Bonnyton Thistle.
