The Celtic Football Club and Rangers Football Club are their full names. Glasgow isn't part of their official names.

Hibernian
A brilliant old Scottish one was Third Lanark, full name of the club was The Third Lanarkshire Rifles.
TNS
What about clubs representing two towns/cities? Brighton & Hove Albion are one you’d think of immediately. I wonder if Boscombe residents had their noses put out of joint when their club became AFC Bournemouth? Rushden & Diamonds were an amalgamation of Rushden FC & Irthlingborough Diamonds I believe. Walton & Hersham have been on the non league circuit for a while, any more?
Sheffield Wednesday
The most successful football club in England of the last decade.
Well, couldn't resist this challenge. Actually, I think Port Vale might be first club not named after a settlement, not a placeBut it wasn't named after a place, the station was named after the club.
Arsenal was named after a building, which is a place - but not one found on the map like the post said.
Ready for someone to continue playing semantics tennis with me. It seems Port Vale Wharf was a place you could stop on the Trent & Mersey Canal, near to the ground.
Crewe Alexandra
Plymouth Arygle
They were originally Woolwich Arsenal, and that is definitely on the map.But it wasn't named after a place, the station was named after the club.

Port vale is unique because the place 'Port Vale' doesn't actually exist. Every other team in the EFL and Prem has a name to associate it with a place.
with regards to Rangers and Celtic the names are both predicated by'Glasgow,
I've definitely seen Crewe, Plymouth (and Sheffield) on a map.
I am throwing these in , I don't care a chuff
Where is Wednesday, Argyle and Alexandra ?
You’ve thrown a right spanner in the works here
Sheffield, Plymouth and Crewe.
Man United, Man City.
No place called Man on the map, apart from that Isle of Mann which is spelt differently
I know Sludge has thrown us a curved ball, but are you now just including old romantic names? 😂
? The Isle of Man is spelt differently to ‘Man’
Tom Sang plays for them.
Fairplay I've gone fkn mad here 🤣? The Isle of Man is spelt differently to ‘Man’
TNS' full name is The New Saints of Oswestry town and Llansantffraid
Glasgow isn't in the official titles of Celtic and Rangers.
Clapton Orient a little further back too.

"They'll be dancing in the streets of Total Network Solutions tonight!"
I used to work with a Port Vale fan years ago. Only one I've ever met. Fair play to anyone who follows them - that must be a tough gig.
