About the SPL
On September 8, 1997, Scotland's top ten professional clubs announced their intention to resign from the SFL and form a breakaway league in a simular motion to what happened when the English Premier league was formed a few years earlier. It heralded a new dawn in the history of Scottish Football with the top clubs taking control of their own destiny to drive the game forward on and off the park and deliver a brighter future.
There followed months of negotiations, involving the top ten clubs, the Scottish Football League and the Scottish Football Association. On December 9, 1997, the League Management Committee of the SFL agreed to endorse a decision taken the previous month by a Special General Meeting, which saw votes cast by all 40 Scottish senior clubs.
In May, 1998, the Scottish Football Associations' Council and Members, following an official submission from the top ten, approved the top ten clubs' plans to set up a new Premier League. After negotiations with the SFA and the SFL and with severance payments agreed, the SPL was established in time for the start of the 1998-99 season.
The first SPL games took place on August 1, 1998 and another chapter in Scottish Football history began. The current Executive Chairman Lex Gold, formerly the chairman of Hibernian Football Club, took up post in September 1999.
Per capita, more people in Scotland watch their domestic top level league than any other nation in Europe. The Scottish Premier League is currently ranked tenth in the UEFA rankings of European leagues, which are based on the performances of member clubs in European competitions. A total of 18 clubs have competed in the SPL since its inauguration in 1998-99, but only two have won the title: the Old Firm of Celtic (six) and Rangers (four).
