Inter-City Midweek League
including the Glasgow & District Midweek League
Page created: 5 August 2020

The purpose of the Inter-City Midweek League and was cater
for shopworkers who, because they worked on
Saturdays, couldn’t attend regular fixtures. Matches were generally played
before poor attendances (only 5000 at the Rangers v Celtic game) and the
competition was abandoned on 8 November 1912 after only four rounds of
fixtures.
The Glasgow & District Midweek League was
formed in August 1912 and played out by seven Scottish League clubs during
1912-13. Like the Inter City Midweek League which was also competed for this
season, this was primarily to let shopkeepers get to a match on their day off. The
office bearers were elected as follows,
President – John
McMahon (Clyde)
Vice President – W
Cowan (Third Lanark)
Secretary &
treasurer – G Easton (Partick Thistle)
It was decided that
all the matches would be played in Glasgow, although this Rule wasn’t strictly
enforced, and each club would play each other only once.
