Bathgate F.C. were a Scottish football club based at Mill Park in Bathgate. [D. Pickering, "The Cassell Soccer Companion", London: Cassell, 1995, p. 27] The club were former members of the Scottish Football League.

History

The club was formed in 1893 and joined the Central Football Combination in 1902before joining the Central Football League in 1902 before dividing their time between various minor leagues. They returned to this league by 1919 and as a result were incoporated into theScottish Football League Second Division in 1921 when most of the membership of the Central League made the same move. The club initially looked strong but soon found themselves dogged by financial problems and were further hit in 1924 when Larkhall Thistle brought a case against them for poaching their players, in what was effectively a test case by a junior side against this standard senior club practice. [B. Crampsey, "The First Hundred Years", Glasgow: Scottish Football League, 1990, p. 78] Finances were further damaged by the severe downturn in gates during the miners strike [Crampsey, op cit, p. 292] and ultimately the club was forced to resign during the course of the 1928-29 season. The club continued at various levels until 1938.

Formed 1893. Defunct 1938.

Grounds: 1893-1904 Boghead Park, 1891-1935 Mill Park.

Colours: 1893-1904 Red & white striped shirts, white shorts. 1904-1938 Maroon shirts, white shorts.
