Mount Vernon Football Club was a 19th-century football club based in Mount Vernon, Glasgow, Scotland.
The club was founded in 1874, with the club's first recorded match being a 0–0 draw against the Sandyford second XI, although the Sandyford side was more of an X as it was a player short. [1]
The club had 30 members by 1877, when it joined the Scottish Football Association, [2] after only 2 defeats in 16 matches in the 1876–77 season. [3] The club also only lost 2 matches in its first senior season, [4] but one of those was in the first round of the Scottish Cup, a 2–1 defeat at home to Glengowan. [5] One notable win for Mount Vernon was a 1–0 victory over Shotts despite playing the game with only 9 men. [6]
Mount Vernon met Glengowan again in the first round of the 1878–79 Scottish Cup, Glengowan again winning by the odd goal, this time 4–3. [7]
Mount Vernon did enter the Cup in 1879–80, and was drawn at home to Upper Clydesdale, [8] but had dissolved before the tie could take place. [9]
The club played in navy blue. [10]
The club's ground was Carmyle Park, a five-minute walk from Mount Vernon railway station. [11]
