The Southern League was a regional Scottish football competition held during the Second World War, due to the suspension of Scottish Football League. Held between 1940 and 1946,^[1] the competition was played as a single division until the introduction of teams in 1945 from the disbanded North Eastern League, forcing the addition of a second division. The league also ran two cup competitions: the Southern League Cup and the Summer Cup. As the war ended, regular league football returned in 1946, with the regional leagues disbanded. The Southern league Cup became the present-day Scottish League Cup.
