East Kilbride Football Club was a 19th-century football club based in East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, Scotland.
The club was formed in 1877, [2] its first recorded match being in September that year, a 2–1 defeat to Blantyre. [3] An earlier club of the same name, formed in 1871, does not seem to be related. [4]
The club entered the Scottish Cup twice, losing in the first round both times. In 1878–79 it lost 4–0 at Stonelaw, without the Stonelaw goalkeeper having to make a save. [5] In 1879–80 it lost 1–0 at Airdrie. [6]
East Kilbride then stepped back from the national competition, entering the Lanarkshire Cup instead for the first time in 1881–82. The season started promisingly, with a 3–3 draw against Hamilton in a friendly, [7] but in the county cup, the club lost 5–1 at Airdrieonians in the first round. [8] There is no further record of the club afterwards.
The club wore navy blue and gold hoops. [9]
The club originally played at Shaw Park, 5 minutes' walk from East Kilbride railway station. [10] In 1879 it moved to Kirktonholm, three minutes closer to the station. [11]
