Summer Cup

 

Page created: 10 July 2020

The Summer Cup was originally organised during World War Two by the Southern League and ran from when the league season finished at the end of May until July. Unlike the other war-time competitions, no club won it more than once.

 

Because running costs for First Division clubs were getting higher in the 1960s, it was decided to bring back the Summer Cup. Celtic and Rangers declined to take part in either of the two seasons it was played, while Morton who ran way with the 1963-64 Second Division championship replaced East Stirlingshire.
