Glasgow Perthshire Football Club are a Scottish football club based in Possilpark, in the North of Glasgow. Nicknamed the Shire, they were formed in 1890 and play at Keppoch Park, not far from the Saracen Park home of Ashfield. They currently compete in the West Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association and play in black and white stripes (uniforms).
Named after the Glasgow Perthshire Society, they were once one of the top Junior sides in the country, but success has been scant in recent years.
They pulled out of all competitive fixtures for the 2007–08 season, but re-entered for the 2008–09 season.
