Apparently the Championship Trophy is the same trophy that we won when we won the league and old 1st Division in 62. 

Can anyone confirm?.

Saw that too and it did ring a bell from 2014 possibly.

Amazing bit of history if true.

Yeah that’s right, like @CW 90+3 02/05/16 says it was mentioned the last time we won it. 

Must've saw this before but have obviously forgotten.

Thanks.👍

The reason why doesn’t make much sense now, but essentially it’s the trophy for the champions of the SFL.

So before the SPL came about, that meant the (old old) First Division, which became the Premier Division. When the SPL was formed, the (old) First Division became the highest SFL league, so it took on the trophy (I believe the other trophies propagated down accordingly, with the old Third Division trophy being retired). When the SPL and SFL merged, the trophies just stuck. 

The same happened in England. The winners of the Championship get the trophy that was given to the First Division champions pre-92/93.

They also rebranded the names in England, First Division became League One but that came a few years later.
