Vale of Leven Rovers Football Club was a short-lived Scottish association football club based in the city of Glasgow. The club was founded in 1874 and seems to have disbanded in 1876.
The club entered the Scottish Cup in 1874–75 and 1875–76. In 1874–75, the club lost at Kilmarnock in the first round,[1] and scratched from the competition the following year, having been drawn to face Dumbreck.
The side to face Kilmarnock was:
W. M'Lellan, goal; P. M'Kinley and P. Docherty, backs; J. M'Nicol and A. M'Kinley, half-backs; R.Milne (captain), H. Irvine, J. M'Allister, P. M'Allister, J. M'Dougall, and G. Smith, forwards.
There are references to a Glaswegian Vale of Leven Rovers in 1887[2] and 1892,[3] but these almost certainly relate to different clubs, as there is no record of the Vale of Leven Rovers (Glasgow) between 1876 and 1887.
