| a | The 1993 (centenary) championship was withheld. Elgin City finished top by 4 points, however at their request their final fixture in which they clinched top place had been brought forward 24 hours to Friday 23rd April. They claimed that this was in order to allow extra recovery time for their players before a friendly match against Dundee on the Sunday. The following afternoon their two nearest challengers duly played out a draw. However it was reported in the press a few days later that had the match gone ahead as scheduled on Saturday 24th April then two of Elgin's players would have been ineligible due to suspension. At a League Management Committee meeting on Thursday 29th April, the league determined that by not informing the league of the impending suspensions, Elgin had brought the game into disrepute and voted unanimously to strip them of their title. |
