From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They have struggled somewhat in recent years, although they did win the Central League title in 2000. Playing in the vicinity of Rangers they struggle to maintain a decent level of support.
The origins of the club name are somewhat hazy, although it has been suggested that it has its roots in Northern Ireland, with a village of the same name being located there. The suggestion is that they were formed by Northern Irish immigrants to Glasgow.
