History
[edit]Galston were playing at Portland Park when they were elected to Division Three of the Scottish Football League in 1923, and at the time the facilities consisted of a covered stand and pavilion on the southern side of the pitch. The first SFL match was played at the ground on 19 August 1923, a 2–0 win over Solway Star.[1]
In 1926 the club resigned from the league as Division Three was heading for disbandment; the final SFL match at Portland Park on 9 January 1926 saw the club win 8–2 against Johnstone with 300 in attendance.[1] The ground's record attendance of 4,211 was set for a Scottish Cup first round match against Kilmarnock on 26 January 1935, with the visitors winning 1–0.[1]
After the club folded in 1940 the site of Portland Park was used to build the A71 bypass.[1]
