The First Scottish League Season: Where Are They Now?

1890-91 was the first Scottish League season. Things have changed a bit since then so let's have a look at where the clubs from 135 years ago are now.

Cheers for the shoutout mate, great video! Keep it up

[@CallumBlyth]

Thank you Sam

[@johnaarson]

Good stuff. I hope this channel grows a lot. Victorian football content is awesome! :D

[@johnp8131]

Really interesting thank you. Always interesting learning about British football's early years and the superiority of Scottish players and tactics? I remember being surprised reading a little about the Scottish ventures into the FA cup in England with teams like Queens Park etc....

[@harrylexx]

Very interesting! I'd love a video (or several) about the entire history of the Scottish league

[@Fraser-Gosden]

Great video mate definitely hope you get get even more popular and get more quality scottish football videos out 👍

A door handle or doorknob is a handle used to open or close a door. Door handles can be found on all types of doors including exterior doors of residential and commercial buildings, internal doors, cupboard doors and vehicle doors. There are many designs of door handle, depending on the appropriate use. A large number of handles, particularly for commercial and residential doors, incorporate latching or locking mechanisms or are manufactured to fit to standardised door locking or latching mechanisms.

[@CallumBlyth]

Thank you

[@Kinlochbervie50]

good video! the information is out there, but it takes a bit of work to present it as nicely and concisely as you've done. Victorian/pre-war football fascinates me

[@1874WL]

Hearts being the only team from the East of Scotland in that first season is pretty cool.

[@CallumBlyth]

Interesting considering the other clubs that were about at that time. No Hibs, St Bernard’s, Leith Athletic were all there in the capital.

[@chubbygallasso]

Hibs weren't allowed in because they were Irish immigrants.

[@lilywhite1083]

Surely the club you placed second folded in 2012, and a completely new club was formed?

[@Haphxrd]

love the videos mate, keep up the good work

[@Britonbear]

If you are going to sort them by goals scored and conceded then goal average should be looked at. Also; St Mirren's previous ground was known as Love Street but was actually St Mirren Park.

[@CallumBlyth]

I sorted them by goal difference

[@Britonbear]

@@CallumBlyth I know but goal average was used for longer. Saying that...Dumbarton had a better GA than Rangers as well.

[@alanprior7650]

The stories of Aberdeen and east of Scotland football are noteworthy.

I think your blocked nose is clouding your judgment. Rangers rightfully earned their first trophy along with the 54 others unlike a certain team that won one through a board meeting a couple years ago.

[@charlieconnelly5514]

I'll never not be amazed when I think about just how *old* British professional football is. You can genuinely talk about a team and mentioning how they last had a Golden Age when *Queen Victoria* was still ruling

[@thomasmcghee5902]

Live with it timmy, the SPFL exonerated rangers and they kept their name and history

[@ericneil8626]

nothing to do with spfl. Its the laws of the country. If an organisation is placed into administration and then bankruptcy, they must sell all assets and cannot use any name linked to the previous name for 3 years....the laws were 'stretched' a little for Rangers.

[@petermclaughlin2876]

Your history of Scottish football is good but as you know Rangers folded in 2012 the same as Medowbank Airdrie, Gretna, and Clydebank before them so please use actual facts thanks.

[@GioMarron]

If the first season had goal difference, we (Dumbarton) would have been awarded the opening season (wrote this before you mentioned it) We also played for Renton in the centenary of the World Cup in 1988, which we won 3-2 THE SOMS - WE’RE THE ONES 🤍🤍💛🖤💛🤍🤍

[@flashmcglash]

SOMS?

[@rangerista3933]

Sorry, an interesting watch until you fecked it up. Rangers finished joint first with Dumbarton, not "second" as you obviously couldn't help yourself. The Championship was settled by the rules at the time, so it would be equally wrong of you to have claimed Dumbarton finished second. On the same theme, Hearts lost the 1965 title to Kilmarnock on goal average and in 1986 on goal difference. If both criteria are swapped between these two years, it would make Hearts champions, but it doesn't matter because the rules applied at the time. It's a noticeable feature of Scottish football that there's always a snide dig to be had at Rangers, whilst there's a wee knee tremble when mentioning Celtic and you're apparently no different. Otherwise an interesting watch.

[@ChesterPerry187]

Hibs weren’t allowed in the league due to religious sectarianism. They were told it was a league for “Scotchmen not Irishmen” Celtc got in though. Which is telling.

The 1st season it changed to 3 points for a win it would have been Celtic that won the league had it stayed at 2 .points I don't remember exactly what it was but I'm sure Celtic had 11 draws and 1 loss

[@adam_94]

Complete garbage. 1st season of 3 points for a win was 94/95 season. Celtic finished outside the top 2 for the seventh season in a row, finishing 4th with 51pts with a record of 11-18-7. Rangers finished 1st with 69 points with a record of 20-9-7. Adjusted to the old 2 points for a win Celtic would have had 40 points and Rangers would have still won the title with 49 points.

Rangers stated out as Argyle for the first 29 years then change to Western for 1 season when playing at Burnbank Stadium in Great Western Road the change to Rangers only came about after moving to Kinning Park whare the first Ibrox Stadium was situated this is according to the men behind The Founders Trail the evidence was found in newspapers of the time In the Mitchell Library in Partick. In the beginnings of football club names where little more than place holders some stuck like Celtic but others changed. Though Celtic where close to being could Clasgow Hibernian But Brother Walfrid had the casting vote & he picked Celtic. John Glass the man how built the first Celtic Park wanted Glasgow Hibernian. Brother Walfrid went on to form a Boxing Club in Whitechapel that is still there to this day he is grave is in Sligo. John Glass was a bilding merchant he left The Celtic Board to form his own club not long after Brother Walfrid was sent to Whitechapel buy the church John Glass funded his own short lived football club Glasgow Hibernian they simply could not match the appeal of Celtic to fans.

[@ChesterPerry187]

Wailfrid was moved on from Celtc due to his complaining about the profiteering and lack of money being given to charity. Plus playing players, like Michael Welhanan. Celtc. Cheers and a myth from the very start
