Topics covered in detail include the birth of the Scottish Cup, the formation of the Scottish Football Association, the establishment of international football, the formation of the Scottish League and introduction of professionalism    The book also provides a detailed and authoritative account of the first five decades of the famous football club, and its equally renowned stadia.
