| The Scottish League Cup was a continuation of a wartime tournament. |
| Fife sides in general found the League Cup to be an exciting competition with both Raith Rovers and Dunfermline reaching the Final in the early years and Cowdenbeath's record attendance is for a League Cup tie against Rangers. |
| The end of this era saw some of the finest football ever played in the competition as Rangers and Aberdeen faced each other for three seasons running, Rangers winning on penalties after a 3-3 draw, winning again, this time 3-2 before the Dons claimed revenge in 1989-90 with a 2-1 win in extra time. |
