It was introduced for members of Division One and Two of the <a href="/wiki/Scottish_Football_League" title="Scottish Football League">Scottish Football League</a> in the wake of league reconstruction in 1975, to be played after the conclusion of all the league fixtures at the end of the <a href="/wiki/1975%E2%80%9376_in_Scottish_football" title="1975–76 in Scottish football">1975–76 season</a>.

The new Divisions One and Two would now contain 14 teams, previously considered a difficult number for creating a balanced schedule. A 26-game programme (with every team playing each other home and away) was considered too short, a 52-game programme (with each team playing each other home and away twice) too congested. A 39-game schedule would leave an imbalance with sides having two fixtures at home against some teams, and one against others. The solution the Scottish Football League opted for was a 26-game calendar augmented by a supplementary cup competition, the "Spring Cup". The tournament, to be played at the season's end, was open only to teams from Divisions One and Two. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Format">Format</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Spring_Cup&amp;action=edit&amp;section=2" title="Edit section: Format"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The 28 Division One and Two clubs were divided into seven groups of 4 teams. These sides would play each other home and away, with two points awarded for a win and one for a draw, the top two sides in the group qualifying for the second round. In addition, the two third-placed sides with the best record would also qualify. The second round and quarter-finals were played on a two-leg, home and away basis, while the semi-finals and final were to be played at neutral venues. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="1975–76_Spring_Cup"><span id="1975.E2.80.9376_Spring_Cup"></span>1975–76 Spring Cup</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Spring_Cup&amp;action=edit&amp;section=3" title="Edit section: 1975–76 Spring Cup"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Division One <a href="/wiki/Airdrieonians_F.C._(1878)" title="Airdrieonians F.C.
