Scottish Division One

From 1994 until 2013, the First Division consisted of ten teams. From 1998, only the winner of the First Division was promoted to the Scottish Premier League (SPL), subject to that club meeting the SPL stadium criteria. From 2007, the bottom club in the First Division was automatically relegated to the Second Division and the second bottom club went into to an end of season play-off with the second, third and fourth placed clubs in the Second Division. The ten teams in the First Division played each other four times with three points for a victory and one point each for a drawn game.
