Never been so AFAIA.

Each league covers a specific area. LL clubs don't choose where to go - they drop to a specific league defined accordingly. Dalbeattie, Gretna = SOSL... Caledonian Braves, Cumbernauld, EK = WOSL... rest = EOSL. Suppose if BSCG ever move back to Strathclyde they'd become WOSL too.

Interestingly his 7 caps were at FA Centenary Tournament (4 ties over a week in May) and Kenya Uhuru Cup (3 ties over a week in December). Didn't play in regular Amateur Home Nations etc.

Some players managed with barely any formal "training"... just jogging/sprints/golf/etc. Over the Christmas holidays I happened on the Aberdeen centenary video from 2003 ('Stand Free': bit of a long haul at 2hrs+ and very weighted to 1980s & 1990s but still a decent watch). Eddie Turnbull discussed taking-over at Pittodrie in 1965 and finding players basically popped in-n-out as they liked. Among his first reforms was giving each player a ball.

If we go back in history it was not unknown for top division players to sign amateur forms and carry on a daytime profession. This persisted even into the 1960s and 1970s... Donald Ford of Hearts was a chartered accountant. Peter Lorimer and Peter Cormack did something similar in their early years with Leeds and Hibs? There was a Scotland Amateurs national team upto 1974.

I've found briefer highlights of Celtic v Liverpool in 1986 and 1989, as well as Rangers v Everton in 1988. You can also find full 1989 game and even shorter version of 1987 and 1989 highlights via simple search. Can't find Coventry v St Mirren footage.

No obligation to move - unless "emergency powers" deployed. Attempts thusfar: 1 Saturday 26th December abandoned 2 Wednesday 30th December postponed 3 Saturday 2nd January postponed 4 Monday 4th January 5 Wednesday 6th January 6 Saturday 9th January (date of next round) 7 Monday/Tuesday 11th/12th January 8 Wednesday 13th January 9 Monday/Tuesday 18th/19th January etc. etc.

Camelon v Brora off once again tomorrow and makes its 4th attempt on Monday. Although a public holiday it'll be an evening kickoff.
