Kirkintilloch Rob Roy Football Club is a Scottish football club based in the town of Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire. Nicknamed The Rabs or The Roy, they were formed in 1878. They play at Adamslie Park, a venue that also used to be used for civic functions such as the Kirkintilloch Highland Games; however, they may be moving to a new stadium on the edge of town from 2011. They are named after the Scottish warrior Rob Roy.

[edit] Uniform and rivalries
They wear red and black strips (uniforms) and currently compete in the West Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association where their biggest rivals are Kilsyth Rangers. The well known footballer, Chic Charnley had a spell playing for The Rabs.
[edit] Divisional status
After season 2007-08, Rob Roy were promoted to the Super Premier Division of the West Region. In season 2008-09 they finished a respectable sixth in the top division and also reached, for the first time in nearly 30 years, the semi-finals of the Scottish Junior Cup; they narrowly lost 1-0 on aggregate to the subsequent winners, Auchinleck Talbot. Local derbies v Kilsyth Rangers are few and far between these days as Kilsyth remain rooted in a lower division.
