New Springfield Park, Dalmarnock: The 5th and penultimate home of Strathclyde Juniors F.C. until their move to East Kilbride in 1964 . Now the site of the 2014 Commonwealth Games Athlete's Village and legacy housing.

As per the suggestion from dixons Strathclyde were three times Scottish Junior Cup Winners
also losing finalists to Kilwinning Rangers in 1907/8.
The club ground was Springfield Park which housed an estimated 19,000 crowd to a 5th round
Scottish Cup replay with Irvine Meadow in 1947/48. Turnstile entrance was at Silverdale Street
(adjacent to Belvidere Hospital and not far from Celtic Park). They had earlier had a ground by
the name of Beechwood from which they moved to Springfield Park in the 1920's.
All accomodation at Springfield was destroyed in a huge fire in 1965 from which the club was
unable to recover.
