The War Fund Shield was a Scottish football competition that was contested twice in the spring of 1915 and then again in the spring of 1918 (the Navy and Army War Fund Shield as it then became known).[1] The aim of these competitions was to raise money for the footballers and their families who fought in World War I .[1]

The first round matches took place between 20 October – 1 December 1914. Celtic and Partick Thistle went to a replay. Ibrox Park hosted Clyde against St Mirren.[1]

Aftermath [ edit ]
Although Celtic officially won the 1917–18 competition the trophy was not presented to them as it was not ready.[1] [4] The competition was supposed to be an annual event but since war had ended the competition was never played again.[4] There is no evidence of Celtic ever being presented with a trophy.[4]
