Scottish League edit

If the 1948-49 league campaign was a disappointment, this season was to prove a disaster, with just 16 points being won and a 15th-place finish - a distant 31 behind champions Morton. Things might have been worse, however, with only 4 points separating them from relegation to Division C.
