| Season | 2012-13 |
|---|---|
← 2011–12 | |
The 2012–13 Scottish Premier League will be the fifteenth season of the Scottish Premier League, the highest division of Scottish football, since its inception in 1998. The season will start on 4 August 2012[1] and end on 19 May 2013.[2]
A total of twelve teams are expected to contest the league. Ross County were promoted from the 2011–12 First Division, replacing Dunfermline.
Teams
Template:SPL map Dunfermline were relegated from the 2011–12 Scottish Premier League. Ross County were promoted from the 2011–12 First Division to the Scottish Premier League. The 2012–13 season will mark the top-flight debut for the Highland team.[3]
The participation of Rangers will depend on the outcome of a vote by SPL clubs on whether or not a "newco" Rangers will be allowed an SPL license.[4] When the fixture list was published on 18 June 2012, Rangers were replaced by the term "Club 12", pending the outcome of the vote.[4][5] Six clubs have publicly declared that they will oppose the newco Rangers, which would mean that it could not enter the SPL.[6] It is expected that either Dunfermline will be reinstated to the SPL after their relegation from the 2011–12 season or Dundee will be promoted from the Scottish First Division after finishing second in the 2011-12 season.
