Southern League Table

notes

Participants unchanged. Same teams for the fifth season in a row. 2 pts for a win, 1 pt for a draw. Those finishing level on points were placed in order of superior goal average (goals scored divided by goals conceded). Tabulated by The Thistle Archive; all 240 match results have been press-verified for accuracy. Abbreviations (where necessary): R = Relegated. Whilst it may be contentious to say that they were "relegated", Dumbarton, Albion Rovers and Airdrieonians all played in the newly formed Southern League Division B of 1945-46.
