The Volunteers included sporting activities within their purview and newspapers often carried reports of such activities. The growth of football in Scotland, especially thanks to Queen's Park, and the success of army teams in England such as the Royal Engineers, encouraged regiments to form football clubs as part of the physical regimen. The 1st LRV was the second Volunteer club in Glasgow to form, after the 3rd Lanarkshire club. On formation the club joined the Football Association as well as the Scottish Football Association.Alcock Charles Football Annual 1875 46 The club entered the Scottish Cup for the first time in 1875–76.
