Statement of Interest

The ground floor premises which formerly housed The Hampden Bar was refurbished and re-opened in December 2022 as The Rose Reilly Pub. The pub is dedicated to Rose Reilly, a Scottish Women's football pioneer who played with the Stewarton Thistle Ladies winning the inaugural Scottish Cup in 1971. Rose played five times for Scotland, including the first ever women's international in 1972. She also was part of the Italian National Women's Football team in 1984, winning the "Mundialito” tournament. Rose Reilly was inducted into the Scottish football hall of fame in 2007, then appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) and awarded an honorary degree at Glasgow Caledonian University in 2020.

The site is located in the southside of Glasgow between Crosshill and Govanhill districts, close to the original Hampden Park and to the current national stadium.

Statutory address and listed building record revised in 2026. Previously listed as '52, 54 ALBERT ROAD AND 326 LANGSIDE ROAD INCLUDING THE HAMPDEN BAR'.
