===Summary===
Celtic won the League and became champions in one of the closest finishes in League history. On the final day of the season Hearts were leading Celtic by two points - a draw against Dundee would have been sufficient to see them win their first League title since the [[1959-60 in Scottish football|1959–60 season]]. Hearts lost 2–0 to Dundee at [[Dens Park]] thanks to two stoppage time goals by [[Substitute (football)|substitute]] [[Albert Kidd]],; the first in the 83rd minute and the second in the final minute while Celtic beat St. Mirren 5–0 at [[St. Mirren Park|Love Street]]. As a result, Celtic won the league on goal difference.
 
Relegation was suspended due to league reconstruction, therefore Motherwell and Clydebank retained their Premier Division status.
