Glasgow City B.C. are a Scottish basketball club, based in the east end of the city of Glasgow, Scotland.

History

The club was founded in 1982, by locals James ‘Mick’ McKechnie and Willie Cameron.[1] Over its history, the club has produced many locally based players who have represented Scotland.[2]

Success

The club most successful spell was in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when it won the Men's National League title in 1999, the Scottish Men's Cup in 1997 and 2000[3][4][5] and the Women's Cup in 1999.[6] During this time, the club were sponsored by Sir Tom Hunter's Sports Division, and later by his new company d2.[7][8]

Expansion rumours

In 1994, the Brightsiders, as they were then known, were considered as a potential expansion team for the top-tier British Basketball League, to be the first Scottish involvement in the league since Livingston and Glasgow Rangers dropped out of the league at the end of the 1988–89 season. The Brightsiders that year also competed in the World Invitation Club Basketball competition in London.[9][10] In 1999, the team were considered for invitation to the BBL Trophy, after rumours circulated the club were in talks to take over the league franchise of the Worthing Bears.[11]

Decline

The team's success dried up and following several years of bottom-half finishes, the club eventually withdrew from the National League at the end of the 2006–07 season.

Remergence

Following over 10 years away from the national league, the senior men's team re-entered National League Division 2 in 2019.[12]
