Steven Purcell is a former Scottish Labour Party politician who was councillor for the Drumchapel/Anniesland ward of Glasgow City Council.
Born in 1972 in Glasgow, Purcell has lived all of his life in the city's Yoker area.
He is a keen football fan and enjoys reading, music, history and debates among many interests.
He joined the Labour Party in 1986, and was first elected to Glasgow City Council in May 1995 for the ward of Blairdardie.
During his time at the council he had been the council's Convener of Development & Regeneration Services and Convener of Education and later leader of the council.
He was Leader of the council from 24 May 2005 until 2 March 2010, when he announced he would be standing down from this position due to stress.

On 2 March 2010, it was announced that Purcell was resigning as Leader of Glasgow City Council due to stress.

He left the hospital on 2 March 2010.
On 4 March 2010, The Scotsman newspaper alleged that Glasgow City Council's press relations staff were preparing a press-release that stated Purcell's resignation was due to a "chemical dependency", but were stopped from doing so by lawyers representing Purcell who later put out the press release citing "stress and exhaustion" as his reasons for resigning.
A further press release by his lawyers was put out denying this, stating that according to Mr. Purcell's psychiatrist, Dr. Florian Kaplick, "it needs to be noted that he was not treated for 'a drug problem'".
On 5 March 2010, he stood down as councillor.

In January 2012, the Crown Office stated that there was insufficient evidence of criminality and no further action was currently appropriate.
