Scottish Football Federation
The Scottish Football Federation was an association football competition formed in 1891 which ran for just two seasons.[1][2] In 1893 it was absorbed by the Scottish Football Alliance when that league lost all but one of its members to the Scottish Football League's new Second Division.
Its initial line-up included Albion Rovers,[1] Arthurlie,[1][2] Burnbank Swifts, Clydebank,[3] Falkirk,[1] Glasgow Wanderers,[2] Hurlford, Kilmarnock Athletic,[1] Motherwell,[1] Pollokshaws, Royal Albert[2] and Wishaw Thistle.[1]
