The 2012–13 Scottish Premier League was the fifteenth season of the Scottish Premier League, the highest division of Scottish football, since its inception in 1998. The season began on 4 August 2012[3] and ended on 19 May 2013.[4]
Twelve teams are contesting the league. Ross County (champions) and Dundee (runners-up) were promoted from the 2011–12 First Division, replacing Dunfermline (relegated) and Rangers, who are now playing in the Scottish Third Division after entering liquidation.
On 21 April, Celtic retained their title after a 4–1 home win against Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Celtic Park.[5][6][7]
Teams
Template:SPL map Dunfermline were relegated from the 2011–12 Scottish Premier League. Ross County, who won the 2011–12 Scottish First Division, were promoted. The 2012–13 season marks the top-flight debut for the Highland team.[8]
The participation of Rangers, who failed to exit administration after a proposed agreement with its creditors was rejected, was dependent on the outcome of a vote by SPL clubs on whether or not a newco Rangers would be allowed to enter.[9] When the fixture list was published on 18 June 2012, Rangers were replaced by the term "Club 12", pending the outcome of the vote.[9][10] Eight clubs publicly declared that they would oppose the newco Rangers, which would mean that it could not enter the SPL.[11] The vote took place on 4 July 2012, and the newco Rangers were refused entry to the SPL by a 10-1 majority.[12] Dundee, who had finished second in the 2011–12 Scottish First Division, were invited to replace Rangers.[12][13]
