Founder members

The Scottish League's first season of competition was in 1890-91. The original clubs in membership were:

Abercorn; Cambuslang; Celtic; Cowlairs; Dumbarton; Heart of Midlothian; Rangers; Renton; St Mirren; Third Lanark; Vale of Leven;

First single-division period (1890-1893)

The league was formed in the 1890s to provide the growing number of football clubs in the country with a more consistent fixture list.

In its initial season Rangers and Dumbarton topped the league on equal points. No thought of separating teams by goal average, or goal difference had been considered and the two teams played a play-off to decide the winner. The result of the play-off was a 2:2 draw and both teams were declared joint winners, each taking possession of the trophy for six-months. This was first and only occasion in which the Scottish league was tied. Goal average was only brought in for the 1921/22 and replaced by goal difference for the 1971/72 season.

First two-division period (1893-1915)

The league proved to be highly successful, and in 1893 a Second Division was formed by the inclusion of a number of clubs previously in the Scottish Football Alliance. Promotion was initially based on a ballot of clubs; automatic promotion was not introduced until 1922.

Second single-division period (1915-1921)

The onset of World War I saw the Second Division being suspended, not being reintroduced until 1921 when the Central Football League was absorbed as a new division with automatic promotion.

Second two-division period (1921-1923)

First three-division period (1923-1926)

In 1923, the League decided to introduce a Third Division. The Western Football League (in Scotland) was used as its backbone but the new set-up lasted only three years before it collapsed under heavy financial losses.

Third two-division period (1926-1946)

From 1926 until 1946, the League returned to two divisions. Post-World War II reforms saw the League resume with three divisions.

Second three-division period (1946-1955)

Postwar seasons saw the divisions renamed 'A', 'B' and 'C' with the last section also including reserve sides. In 1949, the 'C' Division was expanded to two sections - North-West and South-East.
