NEW TEAMS: GLASGOW AND DISTRICT LEAGUE
The newcomers in the Glasgow and District League this season are Airdrie Ironstone and Tail o’ the Bank. The Airdrie club, who play in light blue jerseys, take their name from the many ironstone mines in and around the town which lies to the east of Glasgow. Much further out of the city to the west, Tail o’ the Bank come from the town of Greenock and their name is derived from a deep anchorage in the River Clyde which lies just offshore. Their jerseys are sand-coloured with large collars in navy blue.
The league’s schedule will remain at thirty games, with the same format being used as was seen in the Metropolitan League when that competition had eight member clubs. Teams will meet four times with the exception of a single paired rival, who they will face on two additional occasions. The pairings see reigning champions Partick matched with Govan, and Dundashill facing Lanark-Renfrew. Airdrie are paired with Tollcross, while Tail o’ the Bank’s two extra games will be against White Cart.
