SFL First Division Table

notes

Promoted Partick Thistle (champions) and Queen's Park (by exceptional invitation) were the new participants. 2 pts for a win, 1 pt for a draw. Those finishing level on points were deemed equal in their table placing. Table per John Litster, data integrity verified by The Thistle Archive. Abbreviations (where necessary): RE = Re-elected; XEL = Not re-elected. Partick Thistle failed to win re-election but were not replaced, thus enabling next season's First Division to revert back to an even number of participating teams. Worst defence.
