The 2001–02 Scottish Premier League was won by Celtic.
As league champions, Celtic qualified for the UEFA Champions League. Runners-up Rangers and third-placed Livingston (in the Scottish top flight for the first time) qualified for the UEFA Cup, as did fourth-placed Aberdeen, who took the final UEFA Cup place due to Rangers beating Celtic in the Scottish Cup final.
St. Johnstone were relegated, and Scottish First Division winners Partick Thistle were promoted.
Henrik Larsson was the top scorer with 29 goals for Celtic.
