Founded in Paisley, Scotland in the year 1972 with only one age group Gleniffer Thistle has grown both in size and stature in the clubs 38 year history, we now have 12 age groups ranging from under 5s all the way up to under 19s playing football in the West of Scotland.
Within this umbrella is the small sided section of the club where over 150 children aged between 4 and 11 years are coached and encouraged to play football in a non competitive league and you will see that we are developing the skills of over 200 young people in the area. The reputation of this club within senior football is second to none, and this is something we at Gleniffer are proud of.
