Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) number of goals scored.
† Rangers were deducted 10 points for entering administration.[6] Qualification to play in a 2012–13 European competition dependent on award of UEFA license by 31 March 2012.[7]
(C) = Champion; (R) = Relegated; (P) = Promoted; (O) = Play-off winner; (A) = Advances to a further round.
Only applicable when the season is not finished:
(Q) = Qualified to the phase of tournament indicated; (TQ) = Qualified to tournament, but not yet to the particular phase indicated; (DQ) = Disqualified from tournament.
St. Johnstone's first significant move in the close season was to release nine first-team players, most of whom were forwards.[8] David Robertson became their first signing during the close season, being brought in from Dundee United.[9] He was followed by Sean Higgins from Dundee and Callum Davidson from Preston North End, all arriving on free transfers.[10] The departures continued, however, with the news that Danny Grainger had joined Hearts and Michael Duberry was leaving to return to England.
St. Johnstone started the season under Derek McInnes and after eleven games on 19 October McInnes was appointed manager of Bristol City and left St. Johnstone along with assistant Tony Docherty.[55] On 3 November 2011 Steve Lomas was appointed as manager.[56]
