Encyclopedia > Scottish Football League Division One
Scottish Division One is the highest division of the Scottish Football League and the second highest in the Scottish football league system.
The division contains ten teams and each year the top team may be promoted to the Scottish Premier League, pending the correct stadium criteria. The bottom two are relegated to Division Two. The teams play each other four times with three points for a victory and one point each for a drawn game.
The Scottishfootballleague system (or pyramid) is a series of interconnected leagues for Scottish Association football clubs..
It is not as well developed as most other footballleague systems, consisting of only two leagues made up of just four divisions.
Leagues do exist outside the pyramid (most notably the Highland FootballLeague), but there is no regular promotion or relegation between them and the pyramid.
