Hamilton Crescent
Hamilton Crescent is a cricket ground located in Partick , a district of the Scottish city of Glasgow .
The field used by the West of Scotland Cricket Club for its home games was the venue for the first international match in football history when, on November 30, 1872, a Scottish and an English selection led by Cuthbert Ottaway faced each other. The game, followed by around 4,000 spectators, ended in a 0-0 draw.
The field was used for further international football matches until 1876, before Hampden Park became the main venue for the Scottish home games. In 1877 the final of the Scottish FA Cup was also held on the pitch.
