Linlithgow Rose qualified for the play-off as the winners of the East of Scotland Football League. As it transpired, both the winners of the South of Scotland Football League (Abbey Vale), and the West of Scotland Football League (Beith Juniors) were ineligible for the play-off as neither held an SFA club licence. Linlithgow Rose were therefore automatically promoted.
