First played in 1946–47, the Scottish League Cup is the national league cup for Scotland's men's professional leagues. Its title lineage remains continuous across sponsor names. The three-handled main trophy donated by John McMahon in 1947 is still awarded today; an additional sponsor trophy was presented during the Skol era.
