Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) number of goals scored.
(D) Disqualified; (R) Relegated
Notes:

^ Rangers were deducted 10 points for entering administration.^[1] As Rangers did not exit administration by 31 March, they were ineligible to compete in Europe in the 2012–13 season. Rangers were unable to agree a CVA with their creditors and the club entered proceedings to be liquidated.^[2] After being reformed in a new corporate structure, Rangers were admitted into the 2012–13 Scottish Third Division in time for the start of the season.^[3]
^ ^a ^b Hearts qualified for the Europa League as 2011–12 Scottish Cup winners. Since they finished fifth in the league, the sixth-placed team, St Johnstone, also qualified for the Europa League.
