Revival is a Scottish football club based in Lanarkshire, which currently plays in the Scottish Premier League.

Revival Is Created
Revival was established in 1998, when George Galloway (During his TalkSport show) was blasting Rangers fans after they had seriously injured twelve Dundee United fans, Galloway's team at the time. He then went to go on about the state of Scottish League Football itself, stating it had become it had become a joke two horse race where the rest of the Teams were there to make up the numbers, a view agreed by many at the time. He then went on to say it was the responsibility of wealthy Scottish Football Fanatics to restore such former great clubs such as Aberdeen, Hearts and Dundee United to their former glory.

Approximatley 30 minutes later, A caller was put through who challenged George, saying HE was a wealthy scottish football fanatic and it is hypocritical to say what he did earlier, Surprisingly to many viewers.. Galloway agreed and said he would now try and head a team to buy Dundee United.

Galloway's purchase bid hit a major wall however, as he was insistant that he wanted to purchase both Dundee United And City Rival Dundee. he claimed the only way 'Dundee could take on Glasgow and win'. was if Dundee was well and truly United. Fans were majorly opposed to this.. and after receiving numerous death threats he pulled out, saying it was not the threats that made him pull out, but the fact Dundee did not want there two big clubs merged.

It was in Dundee towards the end of his talks when Galloway met Alan Ovens, who was finishing his Uefa Pro License in the area, they discussed their ideas about what a football club should be about, Galloway was highly impressed by Ovens.. and promised to speak to him in the future should he ever become Chairman of Dundee United.

Galloway was now seeking other clubs to take over, he observed there were many football fans in Glasgow and In Edinborough, it was then he decided to establish an entirely new club located dead centre between Glasgow and Edinborough, meaning the club would be located only 1 hour away from each city.

The Location was Kilbride, a Town that was growing considerably both commercialy and in population. at the time of Revivals establishment, Kilbride only had a pub team (Kilbride Football Club) which never played any games, Galloway bought this team and merged it with his Revival Club, however it still runs under the name Kilbride Football Club, it is officialy the combined youth and reserve feeder team for Revival Football Club.

On 31st July (deadline day for league entry) Revival Football Club were accepted into the Scottish Division 3 League. Galloway appointed Ovens as manager the following day, and work begun on a 34,000 stadium that week.

Rather than buying Players, Alan Ovens decided to hold open trials for young players rejected by top flight clubs from all over Europe, The Players (approximatley 200 tried out) were split in two, one group going to Revival as intial players the other to Revivals training site and reserve team home Kilbride. over a period of months, Alan Ovens and his staff picked out the best players until they had a squad of 26.
