Clydesdale Cricket Club

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clydesdale Cricket Club is a sporting club situated in Titwood on the periphery of Pollokshields in the south of Glasgow. Founded in 1848 by Archiebold Campbell, it is the oldest surviving sporting club in Glasgow and sold its previous grounds in Kinningpark in 1873 to a newly founded soccer football club called Rangers.

In the 1800s the club also fielded a football team, Clydesdale, and came second to Queens Park in the first Scottish Cup final in 1874, with many associated with the club being instrumental in the foundation of the Scottish Football Association.
