. It was the first season in the new, three-tier setup. Division One was no longer the top division in Scottish football, although all three divisions are still part of the Scottish Football League.
The Premier Division champions succeeded the last Division One champions, and the new Division One champions are equivalent to the old Division Two champions. The new Division Two is a completely new competition, although it shares its name with the old Division Two.
Both Division One and Two now contained 14 teams, previously considered a difficult number to ensure 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 each side having two fixtures at home against some teams, and one against others. The Scottish Football League addressed the problem by opting for a 26 game calendar and introducing a supplementary competition, the Spring Cup
