Inverness Citadel F.C.

Inverness Citadel F.C.

Inverness Citadel Football Club were a football (soccer) club based at Shore Street Park in Inverness, Scotland. They were formed in the mid 1880s and were initial members of the Highland Football League when it was formed in 1894. They were league champions on only one occasion, in 1909. They regularly participated in the North Caledonian Football League as well, winning it 5 times. They withdrew from the Highland Football League in 1935 playing on in other competitions for a few seasons before going out of existence just prior to the Second World War.

Inverness Citadel were assured of their place in Scottish football history when they became the first Highland Football League side to defeat a Scottish Football League side in the Scottish Cup when in the 1921-22 season they beat Clackmannan 5-3 in the first round of that competition.

Shore Street Park was beside the harbour in Inverness and now is the site of an industrial estate.
