Scotland II & III Division

Scotland. The top league was going to increase to 12 teams the next season, so there were no relegations from it. Dramatic race for the title, ending with title decided by goal-difference. Pathetic Glasgow Rangers.

Third level – Division 2. Two teams way stronger than the rest of the league.

Albion Rovers was one the weakest this season – 13th with 29 points, but since there was no relegation here, nothing worse was going to happen.

Queen of the South lost the battle for top position by 2 points and finished 2nd with 55 points. Happily promoted.

Dunfermline Athletic won the championship with 57 points – 23 wins, 11 ties, 5 losses, 91-47. Climbing back to second level and happy about it.

Second level – Division 1. The enlargement of the top division affected them as well – second division was going to be reduced to 12 teams. Two teams promoted, as usual, but without relegated top league teams. No drama at the bottom – 2 teams were pretty much the outsiders. One team was above the rest, but there was dramatic battle between 5 teams for the 2nd place.

Alloa Athletic was 14th and out with 26 points. Ayr United was the second relegated team – 13th with 31 points.

Clyde FC was nothing special, like most members of the league – 11th with 35 points.

Partick Thistle was among the weaker teams this season – 8th with 36 points.

Dumbarton, East Fife, Forfar Athletic, Kilmarnock, and Falkirk battled for 2nd place.

Dumbarton lost the race – 6th with 43 points.

Falkirk clinched the 2nd place with 45 points and was promoted.

Hamilton Academical dominated the league and won the championship with 56 points. 24 wins, 8 ties, 7 losses, 77-44 goal-difference. It was great success, for they played top-league football for the last time in the last season before it was reorganized – 1975-76. Back then they ended 9th and thus went to the newly formed second level and were unable to play in the Premier Division so far.
