๐ ๐งฎ SPFL 42 TEAM 2024 TABLE ๐งฎ๐
๐ At the end of 2024, here are the 42 SPFL teams ranked by points per game earned in 2024, divided into a top and bottom half of 21 teams each.
โ It is exactly 42 teams as of course nobody was relegated out of the SPFL pyramid in 2024 as Scotland's third oldest club - Stranraer - avoided relegation by winning their relegation playoff 5-3 Vs East Kilbride.
โฝ๏ธ The table is comprised of results from league matches only, with points deductions removed so that the table reflects only on field performance. Some teams of course will have results from across two divisions due to promotion or relegation in May.

3 CLUBS AVERAGING 2+ PTS PER GAME
๐ As expected for 2024, Celtic were top for all metrics; most points (92), most wins (29), most goals scored (97), and had the best goal difference (+67). Celtic lost only one match in 2024 (2-0 at Tynecastle in March) and had the least number of draws (5) as they averaged a colossal 2.63 points per game.
๐ด 2nd in the table based on PPG was Falkirk at 2.32 ppg. After an incredible unbeaten season in League 1, they are still on course for back-to-back promotions as they sit top of the Championship with only 3 defeats thus far. Rangers were the only other side in Scotland to average more than 2pts per game across 2024.

PERFECT SYMMETRY
๐ฆ Ross County had the worst goal difference in 2024 (-38) while Montrose were the only side with a goal difference of exactly 0 โ scoring and conceding 50 times.
โ๏ธ In fact, Montrose had a perfectly symmetrical record with that zero goal difference coming from both 14 wins and 14 losses. Motherwell and Hearts both had 14 wins and 14 losses in 2024 but with a GD of -4 and -1 respectively. Clyde had 12 wins & 12 losses, with a GD of -1. 15 teams out of 42 had a positive goal difference, while Inverness C.T and Kelty Hearts are the last two teams to make up the top 21 performing clubs in 2024.

ANNUS HORRIBILIS
๐ It was a torrid year for St Johnstone, bottom of the entire SPFL table on PPG as nobody earned less points (30), had less wins (8) and the Perth Saints suffered by far the most losses (24).
๐ They were one of only 4 teams to average less than a point a game, along with Stranraer, Edinburgh City and relegation rivals Ross County.
1โฃ Dunfermline (38) and Airdrieonians (37) both earned exactly the same number of points as games played to give them their somewhat boring 1 point per game average.
๐ WE HAVE DONE IT!!!!
Results elsewhere confirm that Falkirk Football Club are the 2023/24 cinch League 1 Champions.
๐ช The Bairns are Back!
