They were relegated in 2016 to the Scottish Championship, were promoted back to the Scottish Premiership in 2020 but returned to the Championship after relegation in 2023.
Domestically, the club has won the Scottish Premier Division on one occasion (1982–83), the Scottish Cup twice (1994 and 2010) and the Scottish League Cup twice (1979 and 1980).
