Shotts Bon Accord Football Club are a Scottish football club based in the town of Shotts, North Lanarkshire.
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 Shotts were suspended from the Central Region of the SJFA for one season, after launching court action against the organisation.[1] The club 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.[2]
The team are managed since June 2016 by Kieran McGuinness.[3]
