The Case For Them

Here is the argument for Rutherglen Glencairn: Scotland, Scotland Scottish Cup, and a ground called The Hamish B Allan Stadium (New Southcroft Park) Rutherglen. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

The calendar you inherit
Scotland Scottish Cup is cold-weather football: mud in February, breath visible under the lights, and a fixture list that rewards anyone who sticks it out. Scotland does not do easy neutrals.
Deep roots
Founded in 1896, Rutherglen Glencairn were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 130 years of accumulated grudges.
Loaded cabinet
11 distinct honours on record, including Winners: 1901–02, 1918–19, 1926–27, 1938–39. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
Close to the pitch
The Hamish B Allan Stadium (New Southcroft Park) Rutherglen holds about 1,500. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.
