SFL First Division Table

Promoted Airdrieonians (champions) and Kilmarnock (runners-up) were the new participants. 2 points for a win. Those finishing level on points were placed in order of superior goal difference, then by goals scored. Top 10 formed the new SFL Premier Division of 1975-76, bottom 8 went into the new "Tier 2" SFL First Division. Table figures supplied by John Litster, with the data integrity verified by the Thistle Archive.

League Cup Table

2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw. Teams finishing level on points were placed in order of superior goal difference, then by goals scored. Following a 2 season experiment, the League Cup of this season reverted back to the old formula last seen in 1971-72. Thistle were seeded in the top half of the group stage draw which pitted the top 16 from last season's top-flight against each other, thus ensuring that 4 'lesser' teams would qualify for the two-legged Quarter Finals. Tabulated by The Thistle Archive by triple corroboration, using the match results published at Wikipedia and London Hearts before verifying them against our own database.
