Glasgow United Football Club are a Scottish football club based in Shettleston, in the East End of Glasgow. Nicknamed the Town, they were formed in 1903 as Shettleston Juniors Football & Athletic Club and renamed prior to the 2021–22 season. The club continues to play at Greenfield Park and currently competes in the West of Scotland League.Шаблон:Scottish football updater

Shettleston reached the final of the 1958–59 Scottish Junior Cup, losing 2–1 to Irvine Meadow in front of a crowd of 65,211 fans at Hampden Park. Their fortunes have been mixed in recent years, flitting between the various divisions of the league they have been based in, although they managed to reach the semi-finals of the Scottish Junior Cup in 2000–01, and the quarter-finals of the same competition in 2001–02 and 2014–15.

The team have been led jointly since January 2017 by Club owner Hugh Kelly & Bernard ‘Bernie’ Beacom. Kelly & Beacom replaced the previous management team of Peter Weatherson and Ryan McStay. On 26 January 2022, the club confirmed Rab Stevenson as their new manager.

The current squad includes David Goodwillie, and the surrounding controversy has led to threats of eviction from their facilities by Glasgow City Council leader Susan Aitken. However the club have chosen to support their player 'with his mental health and will continue to do so'.

The ground's capacity is made up of 2 main stands. The largest being the stand situated on the west of the pitch, which is sheltered and has the few seats available in the ground. The goal opposite is an empty grassed standing area. The second stand, located on the south of the pitch, has limited shelter but larger space for standing. The north of the pitch is empty space which holds no lasting spectating facilities, though this space has the opportunity to be closed off for an expanded capacity.
