Whifflet Shamrock Football Club was a Scottish football team located in the town of Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, Scotland.
The first match recorded for the club is a defeat at home to Whifflet Britannia in October 1886. The club turned senior by joining the Scottish Football Association in 1888 and it entered both the Scottish Cup and the Lanarkshire Cup for the first time in 1888âÂÂ89.
The club was however entirely unsuccessful, with Albion Rovers already firmly established in Coatbridge. Its two Scottish Cup ties were both heavy defeats - 6âÂÂ1 to Carfin Shamrock in 1888âÂÂ89 and 12âÂÂ0 to Royal Albert in 1889âÂÂ90; the latter defeat on the heels of the club's biggest victory, an 8âÂÂ1 win over a poorly-represented Cambuslang St Bride's. Its three entries in the Lanarkshire also all ended in defeat and the club never played in the consolation tournament.
After the introduction of the Scottish League in 1890âÂÂ91, the club was moribund. Its last recorded fixture was a 5âÂÂ0 home defeat to Hamilton Harp in February 1891. It entered the Scottish Cup until 1893âÂÂ94, but did not play a tie, scratching in every season, including in its last appearance in the first round proper in 1890âÂÂ91 to Summerton Athletic. The last entry in 1893âÂÂ94 saw the club scratch to Carfin Shamrock. Its last Lanarkshire Cup tie was a defeat at Airdriehill in the first round in 1890âÂÂ91 and it withdrew from the consolation competition.
The club does not seem to have played in 1892âÂÂ93, 1893âÂÂ94, or 1894âÂÂ95, although it kept its Scottish Football Association membership going until 1894 and hosted a junior football tournament until 1892, but by August 1895, the club had definitely dissolved, "showing the effect that professionalism has had in the provinces".
The club wore dark green shirts and black knickers.
The club played at School Street Park.
