The Scottish Premiership is the top professional football league in Scotland. Established in its current form in 2013, it is the highest division of the Scottish football league system. The league consists of 12 teams that compete against each other in a round-robin format, with each team playing 38 matches during the season—19 home and 19 away. Points are awarded based on match results: three points for a win, one point for a draw, and none for a loss.
At the end of the season, the team with the most points is crowned the league champion. The Scottish Premiership is known for its fierce rivalries, particularly the Old Firm rivalry between Celtic and Rangers, two of the most successful and popular clubs in Scottish football history. The league also serves as a pathway for teams to qualify for European competitions. The bottom team in the league faces relegation to the Scottish Championship, while the team finishing in the Championship’s top position can be promoted to the Premiership, ensuring a competitive structure. The Scottish Premiership plays a crucial role in the cultural and sporting landscape of Scotland.
