St Anthony's F.C.

St Anthony's F.C.

St Anthony's Football Club are a Scottish football (soccer) club based in Cardonald, Glasgow. Nicknamed "the Ants", they were formed in 1902 and are based at McKenna Park. They currently operate in the West Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association and play in green and white hooped strips (uniforms), It is a little known fact that the "hoops" often described as "Celtic Strips" because of their affiliation to Celtic FC, Were actually worn by "The Ants" since their founding in 1902, whereas their more illustrious counterparts didnt start wearing them until 1903, after one of the Celtic board took a shine to them whilst watching "The Ants" playing.

They played for many decades in Moore Park in Govan before leaving that site for development in 1999. They played for a season at the ground of Glasgow Perthshire F.C. in Possilpark on the other side of the city. They then shared the ground of Benburb F.C. who play nearby before moving to the City of Glasgow council owned yet self-maintained McKenna Park in March, 2003.

Since moving to McKenna Park they have had a fair degree of success after many years of being one of the smaller clubs in the region at their level.
