Rossvale Football Club are a Scottish football club originally from the town of Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire but now based in North Glasgow who play in the West of Scotland Football League. Originally formed in 1976 by John Grey as Woodhill Boys Club, they run youth football teams from under 5 to over 35 level.
The decision was taken in early 2010 to enter an adult team in the Junior football set up, with the aim of allowing ex-youth players to remain in the game at a decent standard. The club joined the Central District Second Division for the start of the 2011–12 season.
Rossvale clinched their first Junior honour in March 2015 by winning the 2014–15 Central District Second Division title. A notable player in their victorious squad was former Aberdeen and Scotland striker Robbie Winters.[2] Three years later the club won the Central District First Division title, and then immediately gained promotion to the West Region Premiership the following season. In 2020, like all West Region clubs, Rossvale moved to the senior pyramid by joining the West of Scotland Football League.
The first team are based at Petershill in Glasgow, having initially been based at Huntershill, they moved into the enhanced facility for the 2017–18 season after initially groundsharing with Petershill. For the 2020–21 season, Rossvale 1st team will train at Petershill, but play matches there, having ended their stay at New Tinto Park in Govan, Glasgow, in a groundsharing agreement with Benburb. This is due to Huntershill's owners, East Dunbartonshire Council, being unwilling to invest in upgrading its facilities.
The team was managed from November 2017 to September 2019 by former Albion Rovers defender Gordon Moffat. The management team of manager David Gormley and assistant manager Sean Higgins took over in September 2019 but left just before the new 21/22 season start.
