Scottish League Cup

Football

Originally, a regional cup competition called the Southern League Cup, The Scottish League Cup, is a knock-out competition that includes clubs from both the Scottish Football League and the Scottish Premier League. The Scottish League Cup was introduced in 1940 as an alternative for the Scottish FA Cup, which had been canceled due to World War II. The famous trophy known as the Scottish Football League Cup has three handles and has been awarded each year to the winning team since the competition began. A second trophy, the Skol Cup, was introduced in the 1980s when Skol lager was a sponsor. CIS insurance has been the official sponsor since 1999.
