History
Grangemouth Football Club was founded in 1886, possibly the second club from the town of Grangemouth to bear the name. The club played its home matches at Muirhead Park in the town.
Grangemouth first entered in the Scottish Cup in the 1887–88 season. In the first round the club was drawn against East Stirlingshire from the nearby village of Bainsford and lost the match 5–2. For the following two seasons, Grangemouth was drawn against Slamannan in the first round; losing 5–3 in 1888 but winning 8–0 a year later to progress to the second round for the first time. Grangemouth went on to beat Camelon and Kilsyth Wanderers before losing to eventual finalists Vale of Leven in the fourth round.
