Trivia

  • Celtic & World War Two
  • The Southern League Cup was a regional Scottish football competition held during the Second World War, due to the suspension of national competitions. Held between 1940 and 1946, the competition involved all teams from the Southern League and was played as four groups of four with the group winners forming the semi-finals. In the final season, due to additional teams, the competition doubled in size with quarter-finals for the eight group winners.

Review

“Everything you look for in a Cup tie was missing. It’s a safe bet that neither Parkhead nor Paisley will be represented in the final”
