The table below shows the nicknames of as many Scottish Premier, First, Second and Third Division clubs I could find. No doubt someone will let me know any that are missing!
The nicknames given by fans to the football (soccer) club they support have evolved since the game began in Scotland (the first Scottish Cup was played in 1873). Some nicknames are fairly obvious, such as "Saints" (for both St Johnstone in Perth and St Mirren in Paisley) or "The Rovers" for Albion Rovers. Others are less obvious and some are downright obscure - except perhaps to their own fans.
