The club won the Scottish Junior Cup in 1905–06, defeating Kirkintilloch Rob Roy 1–0 in a replay at Brockville Park, Falkirk, following a 2–2 draw in the first tie at Meadowside, Partick.[2] Dunipace were also runners-up to Inverkeithing United in the final seven years later.

On 27 April 2018 the club announced that it had successfully applied to leave junior football and join the East of Scotland League for season 2018-19. As part of the club's move to senior football, the club's name has been changed to reflect this, by dropping the term Juniors from it's title.[5] This was a part of a larger movement of junior clubs to the East of Scotland Football League.[1]
