Springboig lies to the north of Shettleston, Budhill and east of Greenfield, Carntyne and Lightburn Hospital and Greenfield Park, and is just south of Edinburgh Road (A8) and Cranhill.
It is situated between Springboig and Shettleston, and is famously associated with Scottish rock band The Fratellis, where the band used to play in a studio above a Chinese restaurant.
