2016–17 East Superleague

The Scottish Junior Football East Region Super League, also known for sponsorship reasons as the McBookie.com East Superleague, is the highest division of the East Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association. As of the 2006–07 season, the Super League relegates into the Premier League, which in turn feeds down into the North and South divisions.

From the 2013–14 season, the East Superleague expanded to 16 clubs as part of a wider league restructuring in the East Region.[1]
