Season 188 of the S.S.L. began with the Summer Cup, which was won by Celtic who defeated Rangers 4—1 in the final.

In the league, a tight contest was eventually won by Motherwell who edged out Aberdeen and Rangers for the title. The latter clubs qualified for European places with surprise performers St Johnstone qualifying in fourth place. Celtic did not convert their Summer win into league form, as they performed disastrously, finishing in a lowly ninth place in the table, level on points with Alloa, who put in another impressive season. At the bottom, Clyde went straight back down to the 'B' division along with Morton, who had completed two seasons in the top flight.

In Division 'B', Ayr United performed impressivley to return to the top flight at the first time of asking, closely pursued by Queen of the South, who went up with them.
