Cathkin Park



         


Cathkin Park is a municipal park in Glasgow, Scotland. It formerly contained a football stadium owned by what used to be one of the giants of the Scottish game, Third Lanark F.C.. After their tragic demise through financial mismanagement and alleged embezzlement in 1967, the stadium that had played host to organised football since 1872 fell into disrepair. Glasgow's park department took to caring for the old ground, and today it is a public place where football is still played. Swathes of terracing that used to contain thousands of fans (including for an international game against England in the 1870s) still surround the football pitch.
