History

Playing at Hannah Park, they were formed in 1950 and currently compete in the West Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association.

In 1995 they were suspended from the Central Junior League for one season, and were re-admitted to its Second Division (the third tier) in the 1996–97 season. Remarkably they won each of the league's three divisions in consecutive seasons upon their readmission.

Shotts have won the Scottish Junior Cup on two occasions, defeating Pumpherston Juniors 2–0 in 1958, and Auchinleck Talbot 2–1 in 2012.

The team are managed since June 2016 by Kieran McGuinness.
