Stadium
The club plays its home games at the Clyde Gateway Stadium, also known as New Southcroft Park since it was built after the original Southcroft Park was demolished in 2007 to make way for the M74 motorway extension into central Glasgow. The original ground had survived for 110 years and was the oldest junior football ground in Scotland when it closed. The new ground was officially opened in July 2008 with a friendly match between Rutherglen Glencairn and Clyde F.C.
In August 2009, the club signed a lucrative sponsorship deal with local urban regeneration company Clyde Gateway to sponsor New Southcroft Park for two years, and it was renamed the Clyde Gateway Stadium. This arrangement was extended for another two seasons in 2012. Rutherglen Glencairn entered discussions with Clyde F.C. in 2012 about the possibility of sharing the stadium. Although the changing facilities are modern, other things would need improvement to meet Scottish Football League regulations.
