[3] Burnbank Park was originally owned by the 1st Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteers, who used the area for practising their drills.

The current professional district teams Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh Rugby play for the 1872 Cup to celebrate their first derby match.

[6] The ground was also used as a venue for cricket matches an All-England eleven took on Scottish club sides there.

[5] The 1st Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteers had their own short-lived football club which was extant from 1874 to 1883.

[1] At the end of that season, Clydesdale vacated their ground at Kinning Park on the south-west side of Glasgow (though technically outside the city boundary at the time) and Rangers took over that site, beginning their enduring association with that part of town.
