* '''Dundee'''
** Founded: 1893
** Nicknames: The Dee
** Stadium: Dens Park (capacity: 11,506)
** Manager: James [=McPake=]
** Dundee's golden age was the 1960s, when they won their only title in 1962 and reached the semi-final of the European Cup in 1963. Since the 1973/74 League Cup victory, however, there has been no major silverware for the Dee, who have also twice escaped perilous financial positions since 2000. They were a late entry into the then-SPL in 2012–13 after Rangers' bankruptcy, but went down at the end of that season; Dundee bounced back to win the 2013–14 Championship title. They remained in the Prem until a disastrous 2018–19 season saw them go through three managers on their way to a dead-bottom finish. After two season in the Championship, they returned to the Prem after beating Kilmarnock in the 2020-21 play-off final. Their stadium is on the same street as the home of their neighbours, Dundee United, and they play in dark blue.

* '''Heart of Midlothian'''
** Founded: 1874
** Nicknames: Hearts, The Jambos, the Jam Tarts
** Stadium: Tynecastle Stadium, Edinburgh (capacity: 20,099)
** Manager: Robbie Neilson
** The maroon-coloured half of the feuding Edinburgh sides, Hearts take their proper name from the Heart of Midlothian jail which, although demolished in 1817, was kept in the memory by Sir Walter Scott's novel of the same name. Hearts, who are commonly thought of as Scotland's third biggest side in the modern era, have been Champions of Scotland four times, most recently in 1960. Russo-Lithuanian banker and [[TheMafiya totally-not-shady individual]] Vladimir Romanov was the majority shareholder in the club from 2005 to 2013 and made a reputation for himself with his bizarre outbursts/fearless truth-telling (delete according to taste) and meddling in first-team affairs (including a high manager turnover rate). After saddling Hearts with massive debts, he saw his business empire go under, which in turn led Hearts into administration after the 2012–13 season. On the other hand, the club was literally days away from selling their stadium when he took them over in 2005, so Hearts fans look back on his tenure with mixed feelings. The club remained in the Premiership, but were docked 15 points, which was enough to send them down to the Championship for the 2014-15 season. Hearts are now transitioning to fan ownership. In this vein, they are currently owned by Edinburgh businesswoman Anne Budge, with capital coming from the fan group "Foundation of Hearts". After storming the Championship, racking a league record of 91 points and 96 goals, Hearts swiftly reclaimed their Premiership place in the 2014–15 season. Were controversially relegated back to the Championship in 2019-20 after the season was ended early due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic; they appealed against the decision, but were unsuccessful. Once again, though, they went straight back up after comfortably finishing top of the Championship table.

** One of the oldest clubs in the world, Kilmarnock are entwined with the history of Scottish football having played in the first ever Scottish Cup match. Despite their age Killie, playing in blue and white stripes, have only found limited success in terms of trophies. They won the League in 1965 and have won the Scottish Cup three times.

However, manager Steve Clarke then left to become Scotland manager and their fortunes quickly faded, and just two seasons later, they were relegated for the first time in just under 30 years, losing the play-off final to Dundee.

** Last Season in the Premiership: 2015/16

** United, playing in tangerine and black, rose to their greatest achievements in the 1980s under the reign of manager Jim [=McLean=]. The one-time Champions (in 1983) reached the semi-finals of the European Cup in 1984 and were runners up in the 1987 UEFA Cup final. Playing in a vibrant orange first adopted in 1969, United are the dominant force in Dundee and have been far more successful than their close neighbours in recent years—although this changed in 2015/16, with United finishing a distant last place in the Prem and were relegated to the Championship. After three failed promotion attempts, they were returned to the Prem in 2019-20 after topping the Championship table, albeit after the season was ended early due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic. Uniquely, Barcelona have failed to beat them in every competitive match they have played together. Stephen Thompson succeeded his late father as Chairman in 2008.

The changes in 1995 would be short lived, however. Intending to follow the success of the UsefulNotes/EnglishPremierLeague (EPL) - which had broken away from the English Football League in 1992 for massive commercial gains - ten members of the Scottish Football League broke away in 1997 to form the Scottish ''Premier'' League, a new ten-team top flight (which became twelve teams in 2000) that could keep the majority of its commercial gains (as opposed to spreading them across four divisions equally as was the case in the SFL). However, disappointing results by Scottish clubs and national teams in international competition, plus the increasing commercial dominance of the EPL, led the SPL and SFL to merge into a single body.
The League season runs from late July or early August until May (a winter break in late December and early January was scrapped in 2000). After all sides have played thirty-three matches (three matches against one another) the Premiership splits into two groups, splitting the top six and the bottom six. Points from the first 33 games carry over and teams play five further games only against teams in their own group. The split was conceived when the League expanded to twelve teams in order to avoid a forty-four game season for each club although this can, and has, led to odd situations where the team in seventh place has more points than the team in sixth place. The structure was retained for the Premiership.

Like its English counterpart, the SPL has brought a major influx of foreign players to British football. Some of the SPL's greatest ever players hail from far-off shores, such as Henrik Larsson, Gio Van Bronkhorst, Ronald de Boer, Lubo Moravcik and Stan Petrov. This, however, has been accused as being a major cause of the decline in the quality of the Scottish national side and is generally associated with more affluent times. As a result, there is an increasing focus on home-grown talent rather than expensive foreign purchases.

!! The League provides examples of:
* ArchEnemy: Celtic and Rangers. One of the oldest and most vicious rivalries in the world.
* Badass: every team's got one...
** ...but in recent years Celtic captain Scott Brown has developed a reputation as the ultimate badass of the entire league:
*** UnsportsmanlikeGloating: [[https://videocelts.com/2011/02/blogs/scott-brown-fires-back-at-nice-guy-diouf/ Has admitted]] winding up opponents just for the fun of it.
*** ExposedToTheElements: Plays in a short-sleeved shirt even in the depths of winter, trained [[https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/5231248/celtic-vs-rangers-scott-brown-old-firm/ in shorts and a t-shirt]] in the middle of a snowstorm, walked through a -11°C St. Petersburg [[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5423127/Celtic-star-Scott-Brown-wears-T-shirt-11-Russia.html in a t-shirt]], and regularly travels to matches in just shorts, a t-shirt and trainers without socks.
* TheBadGuyWins: Someone is always the bad guy to someone else, and ''someone'' has to win.
* BigGame: Aberdeen v Dundee United, Hearts v Hibs and Aberdeen v Rangers for various reasons. Celtic v Rangers, however, was considered to be ''the'' big game, with the destination of trophies and over a century of bitter feuding behind it all.
* CloudCuckooLander: Former Hearts majority shareholder Vladimir Romanov, known for his erratic decision-making and bizarre public outbursts.
* TheCloudCuckooLanderWasRight: Former Hearts majority shareholder Vladimir Romanov's public outbursts looked considerably less bizarre after Rangers FC's insolvency event in 2012 and the subsequent revelations about the journalistic and financial integrity of the Scottish game.
* CripplingTheCompetition: A frequent allegation made by all sides against the opposition.
* CrowdChant: Sometimes funny, sometimes not, sometimes downright nasty.
* CurbStompBattle: Celtic 9-0 Aberdeen and Dunfermline 1-8 Celtic, the biggest home and away wins in the history of the SPL respectively.
** Rangers winning the 98/99 title by 21 clear points.
** Hearts winning the 2012 Scottish Cup final with a 5-1 demolition of their Edinburgh rivals Hibs.
* DavidVersusGoliath: The smaller community clubs can face this upon promotion to the Premiership, whose regular sides have considerably more resources at hand.
* [[DecidedByOneVote Decided By One Goal]]: Plenty of matches, and ''[[UpToEleven the entire 2002/03 League season]]''. Season 04/05 was also decided by a single match point.
* DiabolusExMachina: Scott [=McDonald=]'s goal in the last minute of the 2003/04 season against Celtic to lost them the title.
** Whilst it was hardly "ex machina", being the result of ''years'' of elitism and malpractice, the collapse of Rangers can seem like this to fans since the team did so well in prior seasons. It wasn't so much "the cracks began to show" as "the cracks split wide open in a few seconds."

** Members of the Highland League for the majority of their history, County joined the League along with their local rivals ICT in 1994. Slowly working their way up the ranks ever since, County reached the final of the 2010 Scottish Cup after beating Celtic 2-0 in the semi-final. They reached the Premier League for the first time in their history in 2012, replacing ICT as its northernmost member, and stayed there until finishing last in the 2017–18 Premiership. They only stayed in the Championship for one season, punching their return ticket to the Prem by clinching the title with a round to spare. County play in dark blue, and their nickname (The Staggies) comes from their badge, which features a Caberfeidh, or Stag’s Head.

Currently managed by Brendan Rodgers, who despite nearly taking Liverpool to their first title in quarter of a century, was an appointment regarded with scepticism, but under his stewardship, Celtic romped to the 2016/17 title, and claimed the 2017/18 crown in only slightly less dominating fashion.

** Dundee's golden age was the 1960s, when they won their only title in 1962 and reached the semi-final of the European Cup in 1963. Since the 1973/74 League Cup victory, however, there has been no major silverware for the Dee, who have also twice escaped perilous financial positions since 2000. They were a late entry into the then-SPL in 2012–13 after Rangers' bankruptcy, but went down at the end of that season; Dundee bounced back to win the 2013–14 Championship title. Their stadium is on the same street as the home of their neighbours, Dundee United, and they play in dark blue.
