Glasgow United F.C.
Glasgow United Football Club are a Scottish football club based in Shettleston, in the East End of Glasgow. Nicknamed the Town, they were formed in 1903 as Shettleston Juniors Football & Athletic Club and renamed prior to the 2021–22 season. The club continues to play at Greenfield Park and currently competes in the West of Scotland League. Shettleston reached the final of the 1958–59 Scottish Junior Cup, losing 2–1 to Irvine Meadow in front of a crowd of 65,211 fans at Hampden Park. Their fortunes have been mixed in recent years, flitting between the various divisions of the league they have been based in, although they managed to reach the semi-finals of the Scottish Junior Cup in 2000–01, and the quarter-finals of the same competition in 2001–02 and 2014–15. The team have been led jointly since January 2017 by Club owner Hugh Kelly & Bernard ‘Bernie’ Beacom. Kelly & Beacom replaced the previous management team of Peter Weatherson and Ryan McStay. On 26 January 2022, the club confirmed Rab Stevenson as their new manager. The current squad includes David Goodwillie, and the surrounding controversy has led to threats of eviction from their facilities by Glasgow City Council leader Susan Aitken. However the club have chosen to support their player 'with his mental health and will continue to do so'.
