Rutherglen Glencairn F.C.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rutherglen Glencairn Football Club are a Scottish football (soccer) club based in Rutherglen, (in the South Lanarkshire local authority area, but part of the Glasgow conurbation). Nicknamed the Glens and formed in 1896, they are currently without a home ground due to the demolition of Southcroft Park which is in the line of the proposed extension to the M74 motorway. The club is currently ground-sharing with Cambuslang Rangers, Vale of Clyde and Shettleston Juniors until the Glens' new ground (in Burnhill) is ready to open in December 2007.

Currently competing in the West Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association, they wear black and white vertically striped strips (uniforms).
