Ramblers Football Club was a 19th-century football club based in Glasgow.

The club was founded in 1874.[1] Its first recorded match was a 0–0 draw with Burnbank,[2] and its first recorded goal and win came at Hamilton Academical the following month.[3]

The Ramblers entered the Scottish Cup for the first time in 1875–76. The club was drawn away to Northern and lost by 4 goals, plus one disputed goal, to nil.[4] The club entered the competition three times in total, losing in the first round on every occasion - its other appearances being a 6–0 (plus one disputed) loss at 3rd Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteers in 1876–77,[5] and a 1–0 defeat at home to Stonefield in 1877–78, in a "hard but pleasant game".[6]

The club recorded winning 10 of its 18 matches in the 1876–77 season, and boasted a membership of 50 that season;[7] however the club's last advertised match was against Blythswood in December 1877,[8] but there is no report that the match took place. The final recorded match was a 2–0 defeat at Stonelaw the previous month, against a scratch side rather than the regular Stonelaw XI.[9]
