After joining the Scottish League in 1891, Clyde were regulars in the top division until relegation in 1975 but haven't returned since. Having never won the league title or played in the SPL since its inception in 1998, their best performance in the top division was third in the old Scottish Division One; in 1909, 1912, and 1967. They only finished three points behind champions Celtic in 1909. They have won the Scottish Cup three times; in 1939, 1955, and 1958. They have finished runners up on a further three occasions, in 1910, 1912, and 1949.
