Petershill Football Club are a Scottish football club from Springburn in the north of Glasgow. Nicknamed the Peasy, they were formed in 1897 and are traditionally one of the stronger clubs at their level, although they have not been as successful in recent years as they have been historically.
They play at New Petershill Park: a modern stadium with a 2000 capacity including a 562 all-seated stand. Petershill currently compete in the West of Scotland League First Division. The colours of their strip are maroon and white.[1]
An unrelated senior club also named Petershill operated in Springburn between 1877 and 1883 and participated in the early Scottish Cup seasons, before merging with Northern;[2] the year of Northern's subsequent dissolution was 1897, the same as the formation of Petershill, albeit the club history does not mention any link to Northern, nor to Cowlairs, another former SFL team in Springburn which had folded in 1896.[1]
The club share a healthy rivalry with Maryhill.
