1939-40 in Scottish football
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1939–40]] would have been the 50th season of competitive football in Scotland. However, the outbreak of the Second World War on 3 September 1939 caused the suspension of the league after five rounds of games played in Division One, and four rounds in Division Two. The league was not officially competed for until the 1946–47 season but there were unofficial regional leagues played during these years.
