S.S.L. Season 155
Review of the season
The centenary season of the S.S.L. was won, like the very first one, by Celtic, completing their 5th title in a row. It did not look like they would do this in the early stages of the season as, following a good start of four wins and a draw in the first five games, they went into a slump that saw them slip to fifth place at the half-way stage. Hibernian, Rangers, Dundee and Hearts were all strong contenders for much of the season, but Rangers looked the strongest in the latter stages. With five games to go they had a four point lead over Hearts, Hibernian and Celtic. Rangers in particular lost crucial matches whilst Celtic finished strongly to take the title by four points. The following table shows the standings at each stage of the season.
