Meritocracy will still be in place where possible.
So as things stand if the season ended today this is where everyone will be:
SPL:
Celtic
Inverness CT
Motherwell
Hibernian
Aberdeen
St Johnstone
Kilmarnock
Dundee Utd
Hearts
St Mirren
Ross County
Dunfermline.
Scottish Championship:
Dundee
Morton
Thistle
Raith
Falkirk
Livingston
Hamilton
Cowdenbeath
Airdrie
Dumbarton
QotS
Alloa.
The remaining teams in the SFL2 and all those currently in SFL3 will form the Scottish National league.
Nobody will lose out on promotion. Those in the 4th tier of Scottish Football will still end up in the 3rd tier regardless.
