I think the stadium in the picture is White City Sports Ground; there was also the Albion Dog Track to the north east, just out of picture (between White City and Ibrox). Going by various maps, both seem to have survived until the 50s/60s (possibly even later, I don't know), but are presumably now long gone under the motorway, etc

Parkhead Juniors played, certainly in the 1950s in the park shown in the bottom picture, opposite the fire station and called, at least locally, Parkhead Juniors' Park. But I do remember a photo of the team from the 1920s, which mentioned them playing at Helenslea, in Helenvale Street, but that - I think - was the recreation ground of Glasgow Tramworkers. As Parkhead Junior's Park was their last ground, perhaps this was the sad end of a long decline.
