Squad Stats (basic)

SFL Second Division Table

The inaugural SFL Second Division competition, all clubs having being elected to fill these newly created positions within the Scottish Football League. Abercorn and Clyde had played together in last season's SFL. Cowlairs, Glasgow Thistle, Northern and Partick Thistle had played together in last season's Scottish Alliance. All had been scheduled to play in the 1893-94 Alliance. Port Glasgow Athletic and Morton had been non-League last season. Both had been scheduled to play in the 1893-94 Alliance. Motherwell were the sole club to be elected from last season's Scottish Federation. The newly reformed Hibernian were playing their first ever League season. 2 points for a win. Those finishing level on points were deemed equal in their table placing. Port Glasgow Athletic were deducted 7 points. Table figures supplied by John Litster, with the data integrity verified by The Thistle Archive.

Jags say farewell to both Glasgow Thistle and Northern, the only sides with whom we have shared three consecutive League campaigns thus far.
