since the 1975–76 season there has been a third tier known as the Second Division when the top division (Division One) became the Premier Division, although it status within the Scottish football league system league system did change in season 1998–99 when clubs from the top tier (Premier Division) broke away from the Scottish Football League to form the Scottish Premier League.
