Inter City Midweek League

In 1898 several clubs banded together to form the Glasgow & West of Scotland League. After 1902 the steady expansion of the Scottish League made it increasingly difficult for clubs to fulfil their fixtures, with the result that many games either had to be held over until the following season or double up as Scottish League matches with points counting towards both competitions.

After the Scottish League expanded to 18 clubs at its AGM on 23 May 1906, the Glasgow & West of Scotland League found would be near impossible to fit in ten extra fixtures on top of a heavy League and Cup programme so it decided to disband. In January 1907 however, a tournament was held to decide which club would retain the championship shield. It was perhaps fitting that Clyde, who won most outright championships, won that competition.
