Glasgow Merchants' Charity Cup
Page created: 18 October 2020
Updated: 7 July 2022
The Glasgow Merchants' Charity Cup was a
tournament open to clubs from in and around Glasgow. Vale of Leven were invited
to participate in the inaugural contest, but declined the invitation. In the
early years entry appears to have been restricted to four invited teams,
invitations being made by the Glasgow Charity Cup Committee at their
discretion.
It was dominated by Rangers and Celtic, with 31
and 28 victories each respectively. In the latter years of the tournament, it
ceased being a knockout tournament and became a one-off contest between a
Glasgow Select and a team invited from the English League.
