Glasgow Lions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Glasgow Lions were the first amateur American football team to be founded in Scotland. They were founded in 1984, and disbanded after the 1996 season owing to a competitive imbalance in their league, although their junior flag football program continued beyond that point.

The Lions competed in a number of different British and Scottish leagues during their existence. Lions Wide receiver Scott Couper turned professional in 1995 with the Scottish Claymores.
