Scottish Division "B" programme

[realred]

I've got a copy of a St Johnstone v Stranraer Division B programme dated 4th Jan but no year or season. Wondered if anybody has any ideas of when this could be from?

Ken, can you let me have the Stranraer team line up and I'll hopefully be able to assist.

Thanks for that Hibernian. I was under the impression that Division B only ran until 1955-56.

[hibernian]

Yes Keith but they did not change the wording on the cover till 58/9. I have a 57/8 v hamilton that also states division B.
Hope that helps

St. Johstone programmes from the 50's are not that common, might be worth a shot on ebay with a £4.99 starting price....
The original description also made me think it was 55-6 or beforehand. If so, it was either first season Stranraer 55-6, or reserves non league, which would have been very collectable.
