Premiership play-offs

edit

For the first time since the 1996–97 season, promotion and relegation involving a place in the top division of the Scottish football league system was determined in part by a play-off system.[35] The previous system used was a straight head-to-head between the team that had finished 9th (second bottom) in the Premier Division and the runner-up in the First Division.[35] The new system involved the teams from second to fourth place in the Championship, with the first contest between the third and fourth place teams.[36] The winner progressed to a tie with the second place Championship team.[36] The winner of that second tie then progressed to the promotion and relegation deciding playoff against the 11th place team in the Premiership.[36]
