Minerva Football Club was an association football club from Glasgow, which won the Scottish Junior Cup in 1892.
The club was formed on 3 March 1887 and quickly became one of Glasgow's leading Junior clubs; by 1891 the club was considered better than many senior XI. [1] The club finished the 1890–91 season by winning the Glasgow Junior Cup for the only time, with a win over Elderslie. [2] The following season Minerva took the national competition, thanks to a 5–2 win over West Benhar Violet in the final at Cathkin Park, the visitors protesting that rough play saw them reduced to 10 men in the first five minutes. [3]
The triumph however was the club's swansong. It had lost the right to play at Temple Park, and, unable to find a new ground, in March 1892 tried to merge (unsuccessfully) with Partick Thistle. At the end of the season, the club disbanded; 8 of its players promptly signed up with the Jags [4] and others joined Queen's Park. [5]
The club played in white. [6]
The club originally played at Overnewton, moving to Temple Park in Anniesland during its first season. [7] [8]
