Scottish Junior Football League

Three versions - 1892-1894, 1899-1904, 1908-1947

See also Main index Club directory

The first Scottish Junior League (SJL) was formed on 14 June 1892, comprising of five Glasgow and five ‘country’ clubs (four from Lanarkshire and one from Dunbartonshire). The first season was seen as a success by the county clubs but less so by the city sides, who promptly withdrew. Three clubs replaced them, but the less attractive fixtures saw a wane in enthusiasm and although the league was unfinished Baillieston Thistle were declared champions. The next version was simply a name change in 1900 by the Glasgow District Junior League. This had been formed on 7 July 1899 and was played out by eight clubs. The name change, which occurred on 31 August 1900 prompted at least one club to resign. A new league, the Govan & Partick Junior League had been proposed as a replacement for the GDJL but when most of the teams opted for either the SJL or western Junior League, the idea was shelved. The SJL had a high turnover of clubs, but was never able to attract bigger clubs, and was disbanded in 1904. The third and last version was formed by seven clubs that lost their place after the Glasgow Junior League’s ‘Great Betrayal’ act in 1908. The GJL had, after one of its disputes with the Scottish Junior FA, formed a Second Division. This was dropped a year later after the two patched up their differences and the GJL returned to the 1906-07 setup by rejecting four First Division clubs as well as the lower division. The SJL formed a Second Division in 1909, with automatic promotion and relegation, but was suspended in 1915 because of the war. It was reformed twice 1919-1923 and 1925-27, but for most of the inter war period, Western and Eastern Divisions were operating with a play-of to decide the overall champions. The loss of a number of clubs during the Intermediate Dispute saw the league go for a merger with the Lanarkshire Junior League. Although this didn’t happen, the admission of nine clubs saw the Stirlingshire Junior League disband. The SJL didn’t use goal average to decide major issues, and this saw the situation whereby the four clubs who finished level at the top of the West Division in 1935-36 had to play-off for the title. The wide dispersal of the league - it covered a huge tract of land from Argyll in the west to Stirlingshire in the east – meant it was difficult to run a viable league during WWII and so closed down. It wasn’t able to restart until 1946 (a meeting to start in 1945 saw just one club enter), but the refusal of the Central Junior League to hand back some co-opted members and ultimately finished it off. During its existence, the SJL was exempt from the SJFA’s Radius Committee rule, meaning it could admit clubs from anywhere and not restricted to a particular area. This meant that the league could fill an important gap in providing as many clubs with regular league football who would otherwise not have been accepted into the traditional leagues such as the GJL, Lanarkshire Junior League, Western Junior League and Central Junior League. The following tables, etc are the result of research by Jackie Heaney and was kindly supplied by Stewart Davidson. Some gaps were filled using John Aitken’s ‘West of Scotland Juniors 1885-2005’.

Renfrew beat Croy Celtic 0-0 and 2-0 (both at Love Street, Paisley), the replay being held over until the beginning of the 19116 season.

Thornliebank beat St Ninian’s but the score was unknown, therefore no goals from the game have been added to the goals columns.

Vale of Grange resigned from the league during the season and the points from their remaining games were awarded to their opponents.

This is the official table as issued by the SJL, including the Championship play-off –

St Mirren Juniors v Burnbank Athletic 1-0 aet (at Cathkin Park, Glasgow)

This match was later expunged after St Mirren had been found guilty of match-fixing their two games against Croy Celtic in the run in to the season. They were stripped of the title on 27 July 1918, and the championship was awarded to Burnbank Athletic.

Renfrew were suspended by the SJFA for refusing to play their Junior Cup semi final on the stipulated date. The points from their remaining games were awarded to their opponents, with the exception of Townhead, who had already been suspended and had withdrawn from the competition. They had played only 10 games at the time, and because of the SJL’s policy of not expunging clubs’ records, the remaining points were all allocated to their opponents.
