Scottish
Football Federation
First
version 1891-1893
|
See also Scottish Federation
1898-99 |
Formed in 1891
this league had a brief two seasons of existence. After the first
season, Hurlford and Kilmarnock Athletic joined the Ayrshire League while
Burnbank and Glasgow Wanderers left to concentrated on cup-ties and
friendlies. Neilston and East Stirlingshire, who transferred from the
Scottish Alliance, were elected to make the numbers up to ten. The
Scottish League's decision to form a
Second Division in 1893 indirectly caused the Federation to close down. The
Scottish Alliance, as the senior non-League body, was used as the backbone
for the new section with Motherwell also gaining admission. Four Federation
clubs then transferred to the Alliance. With Falkirk and East Stirlingshire
entering the Midland League, and Hurlford and Kilmarnock Athletic joining the
Ayrshire League the Federation closed down. The name was
revived for a season for a reserve competition in 1898-99. |
