[1] Originally the team played in red & blue colours (1874–79); but for the 1879–80 season they changed to a white shirt with thin black hoops.

While at Parkgrove, Watson became the club's match secretary - making him also the first black administrator in association football.

The Scottish Referee noted on 8 October 1894 that they were asked to contradict a rumour that the Parkgrove club were about to collapse.

[10] The club was still extant late that same year, playing Rangers on 15 December 1894 in the Kirkwood Shield competition.

[11] They were still playing in 1896 as they were in a Partick Thistle-sponsored tournament in season 1896–97;[12] however, by August 1897, Parkgrove was listed by the Scottish Referee as one of the many defunct clubs of Glasgow.
