Rutherglen is a burgh constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom since 2024. It also existed between 1918 and 2005 (known latterly as Glasgow Rutherglen) and was largely replaced by Rutherglen and Hamilton West while a small portion became part of Glasgow Central and Glasgow South. As part of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies and under the final recommendations of the Boundary Commission for Scotland for the 2024 United Kingdom general election the constituency was re-established, succeeding Rutherglen and Hamilton West and with some boundary changes (the addition of Bothwell and Uddingston previously in the Lanark and Hamilton East constituency, and the loss of territory within Hamilton which were assigned to the new Hamilton and Clyde Valley constituency).
