History
The club was formed in 1894 by followers of former Scottish Football League club Thistle in the Dalmarnock district of Glasgow. They eventually moved to Springfield Park towards Parkhead, becoming near neighbours of Celtic.
Strathclyde won the Scottish Junior Cup for the first time in 1896–97 and went on to win twice more in 1906–07 and 1925–26. They went out of business in 1965. Springfield Park was later taken over by Celtic but never developed and the site of the ground became part of the Athletes' Village for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Former players of the club include Archie Baird and Willie Waddell, who both went on to be capped at full international level for Scotland.
