Undeterred by the failure of County leagues experiment 5 years previously, (See Renfrewshire League) the various local FA’s decided to go for a regional approach to bridge the lack of competitive fixtures issue in Scotland, and the Renfrewshire, Ayrshire and Glasgow FA’s cobbled together this West of Scotland League.
It had more success than the County approach, but dwindling attendances meant it was scrapped after 3 seasons, with Saints best attempt being a 2nd place finish in 1900/01.
