History

Founded in 1902, they were members of the Scottish Junior Football Association from that time until 2020 when all local clubs moved to the new Scotland Football League, becoming part of the senior football pyramid for the first time.

St Anthony's were originally based in the heart of Govan and then played at two grounds on either side of the Moorepark neighbourhood close to Ibrox Stadium, home of Rangers, until the 1990s; Since 2003 their home ground is McKenna Park in Shieldhall, directly north of the M8 motorway.
The team reached the final of the Scottish Junior Cup on two occasions but never lifted the trophy. They won honours in the Scottish Junior League up to 1922 when they joined the more prestigious Glasgow League, remaining with that group in the subsequent decades through the Intermediate, Central and West Region eras, into the 21st century. They were West of Scotland Junior Cup winners in 1938, but never seriously challenged for major honours after World War II.
