Scottish Premier League

The Scottish Premier League (SPL) was the top professional football league in Scotland, featuring the country's best teams competing annually. It involved a system of matches where clubs earned points for wins and draws, with the team accumulating the most points crowned champions. The league also determined relegation and promotion with lower divisions, maintaining competitive balance. In 2013, the SPL merged into the Scottish Premiership, the current top tier of Scottish football, with a similar structure focused on regional rivalries, league competitiveness, and qualification for European tournaments.
