Callander Football Club was a short-lived 19th-century football club from Glasgow.
The club was formed in 1872, out of members of the defunct original Thistle F.C. [1] In its first half-season, the club claimed to have played three matches, all of which were 0-0 draws. [2] One of those draws, at Fleshers' Haugh on Glasgow Green, was the first match for Rangers F.C. [3]
The club was one of the original 16 teams to participate in the inaugural season of the Scottish Cup. They lost in the first round of the 1873–74 Scottish Cup, 2–0 to Alexandra Athletic; the Glasgow Herald stated that the Callander side "manoeuvred at times very badly". The club had replaced many of the players from its first few games, and changed its line-up from 2-1-7 to 2-2-6, so the players may not have been as familiar with each other and their roles as the Athletes were. [4] The club seems to have wound up at the end of the season.
The club colours were blue caps, white jerseys, and blue knickerbockers. [5]
