BSC Glasgow are looking to put the 'Glasgow' back in their name after creating history by reaching the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.
The Lowland League side were formed less than six years ago, and will reach the pinnacle of their existence so far when they take on Hibs this Sunday.
Broomhill was meant to be the original home for the side that started out as a sports club, but they currently find themselves playing 35 miles outside of Glasgow.
They'll host Hibs at Alloa's Recreation Park this weekend as part of a ground-sharing arrangement with the Championship side, but general manager George Fraser says they're hoping their cup run can change that.
He said: “The finance will come in very useful, that’s for sure. It’s no secret that we want to move back to Glasgow and have our own base and own ground in the city.
“We’re hopeful that some of this money might be put to good use in that respect.
“We don’t have any imminent plans at the moment, however we will be prudent with the money. We’ll put it to a good use.
“We’ve also got a big sports club behind us with a lot of youngsters in it so we’ll look to put it to the best possible use and keep us financially viable for the foreseeable future.
“But I would like to think we’d be able to put something towards our own facility in Glasgow".
BSC Glasgow have made a steady progression in their five-and-a-half years in the Lowland League, improving on their position every season.
They finished second in the fifth tier last season, but this will easily be the toughest test they've faced.
George Fraser said: "It’s been an incredible rise for us.
“We were only established back in 2014 and if you’d told me back then we’d be in the last 16 of the Scottish Cup playing against Hibernian I would have probably laughed.
“It’s probably one of those experiences we have to savour because you never know when it might happen again.
“For a club of our size and age it’s been absolutely incredible. Surreal is the word I’d use.
“We’re going to go and enjoy ourselves. It might be a once in a lifetime thing, you never know. Everyone involved with the club will enjoy it and have a good day".
