Ramblers Football Club was a 19th-century football club based in Glasgow.
The club was founded in 1874.[1] Its first recorded match was a 0–0 draw with Burnbank,[2] and its first recorded goal and win came at Hamilton Academical F.C. the following month.[3]
The Ramblers entered the Scottish Cup for the first time in 1875–76. The club was drawn away to Northern F.C. and lost by 4 goals, plus one disputed goal, to nil.[4] The club entered the competition three times in total, losing in the first round on every occasion; 6–0 (plus one disputed) at 3rd Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteers in 1876–77,[5] and 1–0 at home to Stonefield F.C. in 1877–78, in a "hard but pleasant game".[6]
The last match advertised for the club was against Blythswood F.C. in December 1877,[7] but there is no report that the match took place. The final recorded match was a 2–0 defeat at Stonelaw F.C. the previous month, against a scratch side rather than the regular Stonelaw XI.[8]
The club wore blue and black jerseys, white knickers, and blue and black hose.[9]
The club played originally at Queen's Park.[10] By 1876 the club had a private ground at Lorne Park, on Victoria Road, Crosshill, Glasgow.[11]
