Glasgow Football League
Template:Use dmy dates Template:More citations needed Template:Infobox football tournament
The Glasgow Football League was formed in Template:Start date and age in Scotland as one of several supplementary football leagues that were created in order to increase the number of fixtures for Scottish Football League clubs.[1] In 1899 a number of clubs who played in the Edinburgh / East of Scotland Football League joined and the league was renamed the Inter City Football League.[1] The Glasgow Football League was briefly reformed in its own right in Template:Start date and age.[1][2]
In general, attendances were disappointing (for example only 3,000 watched Celtic v Rangers in May 1902 and only 2,500 were at Hampden Park for Queen's Park v Third Lanark in the League decider in 1905). Several Scottish Football League fixtures also doubled up as Glasgow League matches, including the 1904–05 title play-off on 6 May 1905 between Rangers and Celtic.[3][4][5]
