Glasgow Southern RFC was a former rugby union team. It was based in Giffnock, East Renfrewshire.
Previously known as Clarkston RFC the Club altered its name to Glasgow Southern RFC in an AGM of May 1995.
Agreement reached with a development organisation saw the original Clarkston RFC's 1970 Clubhouse demolished to make way for a health club. A new, state of the art, Clubhouse was formally opened by S.R.U. President Ronnie Young at Braidholm in January 2002.
Merger
The Glasgow Southern name was only to survive for seven years before it became evident to all concerned that rugby on the south side of Glasgow would be best served through amalgamation with another south-side side, Hutchesons’ Aloysians R.F.C.
Glasgow Southern and Hutchesons’ Aloysians merged in May 2002 to form Glasgow Hutchesons’ Aloysians Rugby Football Club.
Former Players
Over several years a variety of players graduated through the Club participation from both youth and senior level to achieve representative status. Full International caps were awarded to Gordon McIlwham, and Euan Murray while others have achieved selection at Youth level.
