From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
London Scottish Football Club is a rugby union team in England. It is a member of both the Rugby Football Union and the Scottish Rugby Union.
Formed in 1878 in MacKay's Tavern, London. The club turned professional in 1996 and was playing in the Guinness Premiership as recently as 1997. The club was placed into administration in 1999 and a nominal merger with London Irish took place. The original amateur club rejoined the leagues at the bottom of the pyramid after effectively being relegated 9 divisions by the RFU. The club has since progressed back up through the divisions to National Division Three South. The club shares the Athletic Ground with Richmond.
On April 14, 2007 the club - now semi-professional and coached by Terry O'Connor and Nigel Rosser, formerly of Rosslyn Park - beat Staines 32-10 to become champions of London One and ensure promotion back to the English national leagues (National Division Three South) after a ten year absence.
