- ^ As both finalists of the 2000–01 Scottish Cup, Celtic and Hibernian, qualified for European competition via their league position, the cup berth for 2001–02 UEFA Cup was passed to the next-placed team in the league, fourth-placed Kilmarnock.
- ^ Dundee qualified for the 2001 UEFA Intertoto Cup as the highest-placed team to apply for a place in the competition.
