THIRD LANARK (Cathkin Park)

Seeing as I was in Glasgow on a Sunday Morning, in readiness for a visit to Hampden Park, I thought I would pay a visit to the previous Hampden Park, which was sold by Queen's Park in 1903 to (the now defunct) Third Lanark, who changed the name to Cathkin Park.

Third Lanark were dissolved in 1967 and parts of the ground demolished but, as you can see from the photo's, the old footprint of the ground remains, as do parts of the old terraces.

It was quite eerie walking around the old ground, but great to imagine what it would've have been like when packed to the rafters.

"Hi! Hi! Hi!"
