- The Scottish Football Union was a football league competition that existed from 1906 till the outbreak of the First World War. It was formed after the collapse of the Scottish Football Alliance. Initial membership of the Union was: Alloa Athletic, Bathgate, Bo'ness, Broxburn, Heart of Midlothian 'A', Kilmarnock 'A', King's Park, Rangers 'A', Renton, Royal Albert, St Mirren 'A' and Stenhousemuir. Renton withdrew from the league with seven games to play and Rangers 'A' were declared inaugural champions after Bathgate indicated their unwillingness to participate in a play-off game with them, despite finishing level on points. The following season, Stenhousemuir withdrew after six games played and were replaced by Wishaw Thistle. The Union was initially viewed as the strongest "non-league" competition in Scotland for a while, but its status began to diminish when clubs departed to play in other leagues, such as in 1912 when Dumbarton Harp left to join the . The last full season of the Scottish Union was 1913–14 as the following season's competition was left uncompleted. (en)
- La Scottish Football Union était une compétition de football en Écosse qui a existé de 1906 jusqu'au début de la Première Guerre mondiale. Elle a été créée le 6 juillet 1906 après la disparition de la Scottish Football Alliance, par des clubs membres de cette dernière rejoints par quelques-uns provenant de la Scottish Football Combination. Les membres fondateurs sont : Alloa Athletic, Bathgate, Bo'ness, Broxburn, Heart of Midlothian 'A', Kilmarnock 'A', King's Park, Rangers 'A', Renton, Royal Albert, Saint Mirren 'A' et Stenhousemuir. Cette compétition était souvent vue comme la plus relevée de l'époque, après évidemment les championnats organisés par la Scottish Football League. Les dernières saisons connurent toutefois un début de déclin avant de s'arrêter totalement au cours de la saison 1914-15, à cause du déclenchement de la Première Guerre mondiale. (fr)
