Formed on the 4 June 1945, Neilston Juniors play at Brig O' Lea Stadium in red shirts, white shorts and red socks. After winning the West Super League Division One championship in season 2005–06, they are back in the Premier Division.
Neilston Juniors won their first major trophy in 1998–99 beating Baillieston 5–0 in the Sectional League Cup Final at Motherwell's Fir Park. They repeated that triumph in season 2005–06 beating East Kilbride Thistle 4–3 on penalties after a 0–0 draw at Partick Thistle's Firhill Stadium.
Neilston Juniors are managed by Colin 'Ces' Lyndsay with Assistant Manager Kenny Gillies and start season 2008–09 in the West Super Premier League again.
The committee decided in October 2009 that it was time for a change; consequently, Ces Lindsay and Archie Halley left the club and a new management team was sought. Denis Connaghan would take temporary charge of team affairs and coach Davie McLelland would stay on to help out in the interim period.
In March 2010, the Manager of Neilston Juniors was Bobby Crilly; John Doyle was Assistant Manager and Andy Whiteford was Player / Coach.
