  • The Scottish Football League, also known as the Irn-Bru Scottish Football League for sponsorship reasons, is a league featuring professional and semi-professional football clubs from Scotland. From its foundation in 1890 until the breakaway Scottish Premier League was formed in 1998, the Scottish Football League represented the top level of football in Scotland. The Scottish Football League has been associated with a title sponsor since the 1985–86 season. As this sponsor has changed over the years the league has been known in turn as the Fine Fare League, B&Q League and the Bell's League. The present sponsor, Irn-Bru, was adopted in 2007. Since 1998 it has had 30 clubs evenly divided into three divisions, which are known as the First Division, Second Division and Third Division. Promotion and relegation between these divisions is a central feature of the League and also allows the top First Division clubs to exchange places with the lowest placed clubs in the SPL. There is no provision for relegation from the Third Division into the regional or junior leagues. The Scottish Football League is also the name of the governing body of the league competition. This body also organises two knock-out cup competitions, the Scottish League Cup and the Scottish Challenge Cup. The league offices are based at Hampden Park in Glasgow. Wikipedia
