Glasgow Football Association Football governing body in Glasgow, Scotland

Founded in 1883, the Glasgow Football Association, based in the city of Glasgow, Scotland and affiliated to the national Scottish Football Association, is one of the oldest such bodies in football. In the modern game its influence is limited, the remit being "to represent the interests of the senior football clubs in Glasgow". Those senior clubs competing across the divisions in the Scottish Professional Football League include the two largest and most successful in the country by some distance, Celtic and Rangers ; professionals Partick Thistle who exist in the shadow of their dominant neighbours; and semi-professional Queen's Park, the oldest football club in Scotland, and Clyde who no longer play home matches in the city and have a small support partly as a consequence of their relocations. A sixth team, Third Lanark, had a strong record until their sudden collapse in the mid 1960s.
