Since joining the club, Glasgow has participated in 51 matches (49 starts) for Chicago Fire FC II. Over his three seasons with the team, he has scored 13 goals and provided 13 assists. Glasgow was signed to an MLS NEXT Pro contract on March 24, 2022, and currently occupies an international slot with the MLS NEXT Pro side of the club.

This marks Glasgow's fourth short-term agreement with the First Team in 2024. The 20-year-old made his MLS debut against the New England Revolution at Soldier Field on May 4, becoming the first-ever Fire II player to feature for the First Team in MLS regular season action.
