		Previously the Scottish Football League had a two divisional structure (Divisions One and Two) between which clubs were promoted and relegated at the end of each season.
		In 1998 the football clubs in the Premier Division decided to split from the Scottish Football League and form the Scottish Premier League (sometimes branded as the Premierleague).
		In 2003, the league's promotion criteria caused controversy as the chairmen of the member clubs voted against Falkirk's proposed ground share with Airdrie United and stopped the club from having the 10,000 fan stadium capacity it required, thus saving Motherwell from relegation.
