History

Historical Context

The Scottish Football League (SFL) was established on April 30, 1890, following the professionalization of football in Scotland. This move came after the formation of the Scottish Football Association in 1873 and the English Football League in 1888. The SFL fostered intense rivalries, particularly between Celtic and Rangers, shaping the cultural landscape of Scottish football for over a century.
