(C) Champions; (D) Disqualified; (R) Relegated
Notes:
  1. ^ Rangers were deducted 20 points and removed 4 wins for entering administration.[57] As Rangers did not exit administration by 31 March, they were ineligible to compete in Europe in the 2012–13 season. Rangers were unable to agree a CVA with their creditors and the club entered proceedings to be liquidated.[58] After being reformed in a new corporate structure, Rangers were relegated to the 2012–13 Scottish Third Division in time for the start of the season.[59]
  2. ^ Hearts qualified for the Europa League as 2011–12 Scottish Cup winners. Since they finished fifth in the league, the sixth-placed team, St Johnstone, also qualified for the Europa League.
