outlaw69uk 123 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Got me stumped on this one mate, although, I really feel I should know, part of me is thinking the very early days, perhaps there was a league prior to the official league and they coincided?

Frankie 505 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Rangers took part in the Scottish League as well as the Glasgow League and the Inter-City league on a few occasions. I don't think they won titles both in any one season though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the turn of the century, I know we won the Glasgow Football league title in the following seasons (1895/96 and 1897/98) but we didn't win the Scottish League until 1898/99 so we didn't hold both in the same season. We didn't win the Inter-City league at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 505 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I938/39 season and the partial 1939/40 season which ended on september 2nd In 1939/40, the Scottish League season only had 5 games before we won the regional league (Western Division) after the start of WW2.
