Shawfield Stadium (1970–2019) The Scottish Greyhound Derby was an original classic greyhound competition held from 1928 to 2019, at Carntyne Stadium and then Shawfield Stadium.

History

The competition was introduced at Carntyne Stadium in 1928. It was held until 1968 at the track but with the closure of Carntyne the race switched at Shawfield from 1970 until 1985.

In 1988, the Greyhound Racing Association (GRA), moved the race to Powderhall Stadium in Edinburgh because they had the rights to the event and wanted it to take place at one of their tracks. After just two years it returned to Glasgow and Shawfield following the sale of Powderhall by the GRA.
