WALLACE ARENA in Glasgow?

I've come across a picture of a programme from 1910 for a fight at "Wallace Arena" in Glasgow. Does the venue still exist? Is there a photo of the place from back in the day?

Never heard of it. I can't even find it on google lol. Must've been reduced to rubble many a year ago.

Nothing in the database for Wallace Arena. There are two listings for The Wallace Gym in Glasgow back in 1880, both comprising just a single bout, but that's as close as it gets.

There are a few Glasgow's in North America. Is the programme definitely from the Scottish Glasgow?

I've got a map of central Glasgow in 1910 and no sign of a Wallace Arena.
Of course it could have been on the outskirts but I've never heard of it.

Beginning to suspect the photo is bogus. Probably a deliberate mock-up for something or other.
Thanks.
