The 1949β50 Scottish Division A was won by Rangers by one point over nearest rival Hibernian. Queen of the South and Stirling Albion finished 15th and 16th respectively and were relegated to the 1950β51 Scottish Division B.
Rangers won the league with a 2β2 draw in their last match, away to Third Lanark, a game in which Rangers took a 2β0 lead before Thirds fought back to 2β2. Another goal for Third Lanark would have handed the title to Hibernian. A few days previously, Rangers had drawn 0β0 with Hibs at Ibrox before a crowd of 101,000, the largest crowd to watch a League match in Britain since the war, a record that still stands. Had Hibs won this match they would have become champions.
