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,cite web|url=http://www.geocities.com/br1anmccoll/southernleague|title=Southern Football League|last=McColl|first=Brian|accessdate=2008-04-11] 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.
