BSC Glasgow Football Club is a Scottish football team originating in Glasgow, although from 2016 home matches are being played at Recreation Park / The Indodrill Stadium home of Alloa Athletic in Alloa, Clackmannanshire. The club was formed in 2014 as a senior team associated with Broomhill Sports Club, a multi-sport youth organisation. They were elected to the Scottish Lowland Football League, in the fifth tier of the Scottish football league system, for the 2014–15 season.

History

Broomhill Sports Club was founded in Broomhill, Glasgow, in June 2004 as a multi-sports club for children. By 2014 the club had grown to cater for 700 children in sports including football, karate, netball and hockey.

BSC Glasgow FC was launched in 2014 as a senior football team associated with the sports club, to provide a pathway into adult football for players from the youth teams.[2] The club successfully applied to join the Scottish Lowland Football League for the 2014–15 season, and won the SFA South Region Challenge Cup in their first season.

Ground

From the 2016–17 season, BSC reached an agreement with Scottish League One side Alloa Athletic to share Recreation Park, with a view to the club reaching their long-term goal of having their own facility located in Glasgow.[3] The club previously ground-shared with Maryhill at Lochburn Park for their first two seasons in the Lowland League.
