Rutherglen is a burgh constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The seat first existed between 1918 and 2005 (known latterly as Glasgow Rutherglen) and was re-established under the final recommendations of the Boundary Commission for Scotland as part of the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies which came into effect for the 2024 general election.
[1][2] In the intervening period, the seat was largely replaced by Rutherglen and Hamilton West.
1918–1949: "The burgh of Rutherglen and the parts of the Lower Ward and Middle Ward County Districts which are contained within the parishes of Carmunnock, Cambuslang, and Blantyre, and the extra-burghal portion of the parish of Rutherglen."
[5] Under the Fifth Review of UK Parliament constituencies, the constituency was abolished and largely absorbed into Rutherglen and Hamilton West with small areas becoming parts of Glasgow Central and Glasgow South.
