Formed in 1961 in the fishing village of Portavogie, the Rangers have never strayed far from the quayside. New Harbour Road sits a stone's throw from the boats, and on a good Saturday half the village lines the touchline in blue and white.
The club fields two sides in the Northern Amateur Football League: the 1st XI in Division 1C and Portavogie Rangers II in Division 3E. If you want to play, coach, sponsor a matchball or just stand at the rail and shout, you're welcome at New Harbour Road.
