Cambuslang Football Club was a Scottish football club, based in the Cambuslang area of Glasgow. Cambuslang was one of the founding members of the Scottish Football League, but left the league after just two seasons.[1]
The club was founded in 1874. It reached the Scottish Cup Final in 1888, having beaten Abercorn 10–1 in the semi-finals. They won the inaugural Glasgow Cup in the same year. Cambuslang joined the Scottish Football League at its inauguration in 1890 and finished fourth in the 1890–91 season.[1] The club finished last in the eleven team league in 1891–92, however, and did not seek re-election to the League.[1] They made no effort to re-join the League when it added a Second Division.[1]
The Junior team Cambuslang Rangers have nothing whatsoever to do with the former defunct club, being one of two Junior sides that were formed in the town after Cambuslang's demise in 1897.
