Tranent Football Club is a Scottish football club based in the town of Tranent, East Lothian.
The club was originally named Tranent Juniors, however following an announcement of a merger with Tranent Colts (founded in 1998) in February 2023, the club was renamed Tranent F.C. from the 2023–24 season.[1][2] Their home ground is Foresters Park and club colours are maroon and white.
The team was promoted from the East of Scotland Football League Premier Division to the Lowland League in 2022, having moved from the junior leagues in 2018.[3]
The club's greatest honour was winning the Scottish Junior Cup in 1934–35, defeating Petershill 6–1 at Ibrox Park in front of a crowd of 22,000. This remains the joint record margin of victory in a Junior Cup final.[4] The club were also runners-up to Yoker Athletic F.C. in the 1932–33 final after a replay.
The club was managed on an interim basis from November 2016 by Kenny Rafferty and former Raith Rovers player Darren Smith.[5] On 9 February 2017, Kenny Rafferty and former Raith Rovers player Darren Smith become full-time bosses.[6] Rafferty and Smith resigned in November 2017, following a Scottish Junior Cup defeat.[7]
Max Christie served as manager from 8 December 2017 to 27 January 2019. He was succeeded by Calvin Shand who managed the team from February 2019 to February 2020.[8]
Johnny Harvey replaced Calvin Shand as manager in February 2020.[9] Tranent announced that Harvey had left his position on 24 September 2020.[10] Harvey disputed this and claimed he was sacked by the club.[11]
Calum Elliot was announced as the club's new manager on 26 September 2020 until August 2022 when Elliot was replaced by Colin Nish and his assistant manager Steven Hislop.[12] Nish subsequently left the club at the end of the 2022–23 season. [13]
On 9 May 2023 it was announced that Max Christie would return for a second stint as manager.
