Format

In the initial phase of the season, the 12 teams played a round-robin tournament whereby each team plays each one of the other teams three times. After 33 games, the league split into two sections of six teams, with each team playing each other in that section. The league attempts to balance the fixture list so that teams in the same section play each other twice at home and twice away, but sometimes this is impossible. A total of 228 matches were played, with 38 matches played by each team.

initial phase of the season the 12 teams played a round robin tournament whereby each team plays each one of the other teams three times After 33 games the league split into two sections of six teams with each team playing each other in that section The league attempts to balance the fixture list so that teams in the same section play each other twice at home and twice away but sometimes this is impossible A total of 228 matches were played with 38 matches played by each team League table EditPos Team Pld W D L GF GA GD Pts Qualification or relegation a 1 Celtic C 38 32 3 3 114 34 80 99
