British League Cup1902

 

This tournament was organised by Rangers to raise funds for the Ibrox Disaster Relief Fund. This was one of two competitions, the other being the more presigeous British League Cup that was played earlier that year. Unlike that, however, there is no record of a trophy being awarded to the winners.
