Recent additions and updates

April

Gordon Baird has supplied me details of Cowdenbeath’s short-lived entry into the Midland League, as well as more on Dunfermline Athletic’s reserve side in the 1935-36 East of Scotland League.

 

March

Graeme McGinty has sent me the game’s from Dalkeith Thistle’s 1954 Norwegian tour.

Kenny Napier has supplied additional information on the 1902 British League Cup.

Alick Milne has sent me two more sets of final tables for the East of Scotland League’s 1931-32 and 1932-33 seasons, and members of the scottishleague.net forum have added further tables for the 1970s and 1980s. Gordon Baird has also submitted new details concerning Dunfermline reserves’ previously unknown East of Scotland League championship win of 1957-58, as well as their one season appearance in the 1930s.

I’ve added a new page featuring clubs that have had points deducted from their totals as well as one or two that have had points added.

Thanks to research by Bob Perkins, the final tables of the Highland League is now complete. Bob has published numerous books featuring the final tables of various non-league competitions and has graciously allowed me to update my page with his work.

 

February

Malcolm Pagan has graciously supplied his research of cup results and final tables for the various Junior competitions in Dumfries-shire that existed between 1881 and 1951. Malcolm has also given an extensive directory of the numerous Junior clubs of the area and I’ve added those clubs to the Club Directory. I’ve also added results from the West of Scotland Cup of the late 1870s, as well as additions to the list of reserve Edinburgh Cup winners and an additional result to the Inter City League of 1903-04, which takes Rangers off of the bottom!

 

January

I’ve added two new pages, one covering promotion and relegation since 1893, and the other detailing play-off matches since 1891. I’ve also updated the re-elections page with some more voting figures. Rob Bruce has also supplied details of the 1902 Rangers Benefit Tournament for victims of the Ibrox Disaster.

 

The Texaco Cup and Anglo-Scottish Cup have had the dates added.

 

The Scottish League Challenge Cup for 2007-08 has been added, as well as the dates for the preceeding competitions.

 

The 1945-1952 Supplementary Cup, 1902 British League Cup, 1938 Exhibition Trophy and 1953 Coronation Cup all added.
