1943–44 Southern Football League (Scotland)

The 1943–44 Southern Football League season was a wartime football competition in Scotland, acting as a temporary replacement for the Scottish Football League during the Second World War. Due to the impact of the war, including travel restrictions and player availability, the Scottish Football League was suspended, and regional leagues were established. This season saw sixteen clubs compete in a single division. Rangers won the title, finishing ahead of Celtic. The competition prioritized maintaining football activity during wartime, with results and league standings recorded, but not always regarded with the same historical significance as peacetime league championships. Player call-ups for military service significantly impacted team line-ups throughout the season.
