Scottish Football League

The Scottish Football League was the main organization overseeing professional football in Scotland, organizing the league competitions among Scottish clubs. It operated from 1890 until 2013, after which it merged with the Scottish Premier League to form the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL). The league structure included multiple divisions, with teams competing annually for promotion, relegation, and the national championship. It played a key role in Scottish football history, fostering local rivalries and developing talent. Today, the SPFL continues its legacy, maintaining organized, competitive league play across Scottish professional clubs.
