Formed in 1899 by Celtic, Queen's Park, Rangers and Third Lanark of
the Glasgow League plus Heart of Midlothian and Hibernian, this was one of
several 'supplementary leagues' that operated at this time. When Dundee,
Partick Thistle and St Mirren joined in 1902, the fixture list was adjusted
and the clubs met each other once only. This remained the league's line-up
until 1904 when the Glasgow sides left to reform the Glasgow Football League.
The league continued in 1904-05 with Airdrieonians, Dundee, Falkirk,
Heart of Midlothian, Hibernian and St Mirren and 1905-06 with |
