The bottom two clubs - Dumbarton and St Mirren - retained their places in the Scottish League. Although the Scottish Second Division had not yet reformed, there was one applicant for promotion - Central League champions, Dunfermline Athletic. However they failed to find a proposer and seconder in the vote.
Dumbarton reached the fourth round before losing out to Rangers.

The bottom two clubs - Dumbarton and St Mirren - retained their places in the Scottish League. Although the Scottish Second Division had not yet reformed, there was one applicant for promotion - Central League champions, Dunfermline Athletic. However they failed to find a proposer and seconder in the vote.
Dumbarton reached the fourth round before losing out to Rangers.
