Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Spartans Football Club are a Scottish football club from Edinburgh. They are managed by Sam Lynch (who used to play for the club) and Mickey Lawson. They were formed in 1951 by ex-players of Edinburgh University and the original intention was to field a team of graduates of the University, however they have players from elsewhere as well. They play at Ainslie Park Stadium and wear white shirts, red shorts and white socks. The Senior team plays in the East of Scotland Football League, becoming one of its most successful clubs from the 1970s onwards and are the reigning Premier Division champions. They have been allowed to play in the qualifying rounds of the Scottish Cup since 1978 and have qualified for the Cup proper on several occasions.
