Newmains United Community Football Club are a Scottish football club based in the village of Newmains, near Wishaw and Motherwell. Formed in 2006, they are the successors to Coltness United who were formed in 1934.[1]
The clubs most notable former player is Tommy Gemmell who went on to join Celtic and become part of the triumphant Lisbon Lions squad who won the European cup in 1967. Tommy recently led the call to arms to save the club in early 2015 when lack of active committee members put Newmains future in doubt. [2]
Another notable former player is Craig Brown who went on to play with Rangers, Dundee and later was to become the Scotland national team manager. Brown joined Rangers from Coltness United in 1958 but failed to make a regular breakthrough into the first team and was eventually transferred to Dundee where he won the Scottish League Championship in 1962. Brown was named by the Tartan Army (Scotland Supporters Club) as 'Scotlands Greatest Ever Manager'. [3]
The team have been managed since October 2017 by Craig Gupwell and Paul Davies (Co-Managers) since Kevin Muirhead formerly of Hamilton Academical who compete in the Scottish Premiership joined Muirkirk.[4] [5]
