  1. The 2019–20 Scottish League One was suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Scotland. The season was subsequently curtailed on 15 April 2020 and a points per game average was used to calculate a final table.[13]
  2. Buckie Thistle won the 2023–24 Highland Football League but did not hold the required SFA Bronze licence to compete in the SPFL. As a result, the play-off semi-final was cancelled and East Kilbride advanced automatically to the play-off final.
