Squad Stats (basic)

Scottish Football League Table

The fifth of six seasons in a row with a solitary Scottish League hence no question of re-election as such. Wartime travel restrictions end, and League is expanded from 18 to 22 teams with Aberdeen, Dundee, Raith Rovers and Albion Rovers all being elected as the new participants. 2 points for a win. Those finishing level on points were deemed equal in their table placing. Table figures supplied by John Litster, with the data integrity verified by The Thistle Archive.
