Arniston Rangers Football Club are a Scottish football club, based in the town of Gorebridge. They play in the East of Scotland Football League (Conference A), having moved from the SJFA East Region Premier League in 2018.[1] Nicknamed "the Gers", they were formed in 1878 and presently play their home games at Newbyres Park, which has room for 3,000 spectators. They wear maroon strips (uniforms). Ground problems at Newbyres meant that some home games during the 2008–09 season were played at Musselburgh.[2]
