Scottish First Division 1999-00
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1999-00 Scottish First Division was won by St Mirren, finishing as one of two promoted teams. Dunfermline Athletic were also promoted as runners-up as the Scottish Premier League was being expanded to twelve teams. Falkirk finished third and were meant to play a two-legged playoff match against Aberdeen. However, this didn't occur as Falkirk's Brockville Stadium didn't meet the then SPL requirements for having a 10,000 all-seater stadium. Clydebank finished bottom and were relegated to the Scottish Second Division.
