The 2009–10 season was the 113th season of competitive football in Scotland.[1]
Overview
- St Johnstone are competing in the Scottish Premier League for the fifth time, after being promoted as First Division champions last season. St Johnstone's last season in the top-flight was the 2001–02 season.[2]
- Raith Rovers are competing in the First Division after being promoted as Second Division champions.[3]
Notable events
- 5 August – Livingston are demoted from the First Division to the Third Division in response to the club being deemed in breach of league rules after going into administration and, briefly, liquidation. As a result, Airdrie United are reassigned to the First Division and Cowdenbeath to the Second Division.
