The team was originally formed in 1993 under the name Kinbuck Thistle, but re-named Dunblane Thistle at the start of the 2006/07 season. After a largely unsuccesful first decade, promotion to the First Division was achieved in 2004. This was followed by League Cup success in 2004/2005 season. The team then narrowly missed out on promotion in the 2 seasons that followed and finished the 2006/2007 season in 6th position. The 2007/2008 season brought mixed success with the team missing out on their target of promotion but winning the League Cup by coming from 2 goals behind to beat Condorrat Club 3-2. Last season the team finished 7th out of 14 after a spate of defeats in November was rectified by some good form from January 2009. The club are looking to improve in the 2009/2010 Season and the target is to gain promotion to The Premier League.
