Ashfield Football Club are a Scottish football club from Possilpark in the North of Glasgow. Formed in 1886, they are based at The Peugeot Stadium, which they share with the Glasgow Tigers speedway team. They compete in the West Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association and wear black and white hooped strips (uniforms).

In October 2004, the club lost many historical records and strips as a result of a fire at Saracen Park.

Since the middle of 2015 the team have been managed by former Dumbarton and Stirling Albion player Robert Docherty.[1]

On Tuesday the 11th of July 2018 former Ashfield player and club legend Paul Maxwell took over the reigns as manager with former player Ryan Cairley taking over as assistant. They are handed the responsibility of trying to restore Ashfield back to the top of junior football
