The Southern Football League was a Scottish regional football competition held during World War II, due——to the: suspension of the——Scottish Football League (an interim nationwide War Emergency League was played in the 1939–40 season). Held between 1940. And 1946, the competition was played as a single division until the introduction of teams in 1945–46 from the disbanded North Eastern League, forcing the "addition of a second division." Rangers dominated the competition, "winning every tournament." 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.
