Glasgow

In the early days Queens Park were Scottish football. Then, with the introduction of professionalism and a league system their influence waned, and new superpowers emerged. For the 120 odd years that followed the dominance of the two great Glasgow clubs, Celtic and Rangers, was rarely threatened. There were only 6 seasons between 1891 and 1937 when one or other of the 'Old Firm' clubs did not win the Scottish First Division.
