Trivia
- The Southern League Cup was a regional Scottish football competition held during the Second World War, due to the suspension of national competitions. Held between 1940 and 1946, the competition involved all teams from the Southern League and was played as four groups of four with the group winners forming the semi-finals. In the final season, due to additional teams, the competition doubled in size with quarter-finals for the eight group winners.
Review
A good Celtic performance and enough to win them the section. Celtic a great deal better than the 1-0 score line would suggest with Crum “a little master”.
According to some reports, the players were paid an unofficial and probably illegal bonus of £25 per man for winning the section
