The Scottish League Two is the fourth tier of the Scottish Professional Football League, established in July 2013. It was formed to directly replace the Scottish Third Division following the merger of the Scottish Premier League and the Scottish Football League.
From season 2014–15, the bottom team enters a play-off against the winner of a play-off between the winners of the Highland and Lowland Leagues for a place in the next season's competition.
Format[]
Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, then goal difference, and then goals scored. At the end of each season, the club with the most points is crowned league champion. If points are equal, the goal difference determines the winner. If this still does not result in a winner, the tied teams must take part in a playoff game at a neutral venue to determine the final placings.
Promotion and relegation[]
The champions are directly promoted to the Scottish League One, swapping places with the bottom club of League One. The clubs finishing 2nd, 3rd, 4th in League Two, and the 9th placed team in League One then enter the two-legged League One play-off. The 2nd-placed League Two club plays the 3rd-placed League Two club, whilst the team who finished 4th in League Two will play the 9th-placed League One side. The winners of these ties will then play each other. If a League Two play-off winner prevails, that club is promoted, with the League One club being relegated. If the League One side is victorious, they then retain their place League One.
From season 2014–15, the bottom League Two team enters into a play-off against the winner of a play-off between the winners of the Highland and Lowland Leagues. If the Highland or Lowland team wins the final, they are promoted to League Two, with the team finishing 10th being relegated to either the Highland or Lowland league. If the League Two side prevails, they retain their place in the following season's competition.
