Note: Celtic would win their sixth consecutive league in a row, with 54 points to Aberdeen's 54. This title race was fought to the wire, with Aberdeen facing Celtic in their penultimate game. If the Dons had won the game they would have won the league, but a 1-1 draw handed Celtic the opportunity to capitalise, hand Celtic the chance to win the league in their final match.
