Glasgow Perthshire F.C.
Glasgow Perthshire Football Club are a Scottish football club based in Possilpark, in the North of Glasgow. Nicknamed the Shire, they were formed in 1890 and play at Keppoch Park, not far from the Saracen Park home of Ashfield. They currently compete in the West Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association and play in black and white stripes (uniforms).
Named after the Glasgow Perthshire Society, they were once one of the top Junior sides in the country, but success has been scant in recent years.
They pulled out of all competitive fixtures for the 2007–08 season, but re-entered for the 2008–09 season.

Famous quotes containing the word glasgow:
“When this immediate evil power has been defeated, we shall not yet have won the long battle with the elemental barbarities. Another Hitler, it may be an invisible adversary, will attempt, again, and yet again, to destroy our frail civilization. Is it true, I wonder, that the only way to escape a war is to be in it? When one is a part of an actuality does the imagination find a release?”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
