The Intermediate dispute was a major football
split which lasted from 1925 to 1931 and concerned the compensation that
Junior clubs received when one of their players moved to a Senior Scottish
Football League side. On 19 March 1926, 62 clubs formed the
Scottish Intermediate Football Association and were immediately outlawed by
the Scottish Football Association. In June 1927, the Western Junior Football
League reformed as the Western Intermediate Football League while the
powerful Glasgow Junior Football League (GJL) dissolved itself at its AGM and
made way for the formation of the breakaway Scottish Intermediate League. When a compromise was reached in 1931,
the Western League reformed again as a Junior body. The accompanying league memberships were
researched by the late Jackie Heaney and kindly supplied by Stewart Davidson,
with additional information taken from John Aitken’s
