[edit]Aberdeen, with 15 straight wins of which the last 12 were without conceding, led the league from December until the last week of the season. Aberdeen faced Celtic in their penultimate game needing a win to almost certainly clinch the title, but could only draw 1-1: and then they lost their last game, at Falkirk, allowing Celtic to take the championship by 2 points.
