History
The club was founded in 1868.
The club competed in the Scottish Cup between 1875 and 1890.[1]
Its first Cup tie against Hamilton ended in a goalless draw, although Airdrie played "apparently with the motive that charging was the sole motive and end of the game".[2]
Colours
Its original colours were blue and scarlet stripes.[3] From 1884 onwards, the club's home colours were white shirts with green tassels and white shorts.[1]
Grounds
The club's first ground was "three-quarters of a mile from town", the nearest station being South Side.[4]
