Ground facts
| Opened | 1883 (Sources disagree on the site's ownership chain after 1883 -- one account has it passing to Glasgow High School F.P. in 1919 and eventually to today's owner, Glasgow Hawks RFC; another states the original 1883 site was taken over by the University of Glasgow while a separate 'New Anniesland' ground opened nearby in 1902. This is disclosed as an unresolved conflict between sources rather than picked.) |

Name history
Rugby league history
Old Anniesland in Glasgow, a rugby union ground now owned by Glasgow Hawks RFC, hosted Scotland national rugby league team European internationals between 2003 and 2010, including matches against Ireland, Wales and Russia. The rugby union tenant's own timeline shows its playing surface faced condition problems by 2007, prompting Glasgow Hawks to shift some fixtures to their second ground -- a period that overlaps with the tail end of the rugby league fixtures recorded here.
