That depends on several things: If the first line is "#!/bin/bash", 
it'll be run by bash and everything will work fine.
If that's not the case, you can also call it by typing
  "bash <scriptname>".

What won't work is if the script does not start with a line similar to 
the one above but is executable and you call it directly, or (regardless 
whether it's executable or not) you call it by typing
"source <scriptname>", because that will result in tcsh's comand 
interpreter being used.

How to get the name of the current shell:
echo $0
should do the trick.
