1904–05 Scottish Division One

Scottish Division One
Season 1904–05
Champions Celtic

The 1904–05 Scottish Division One season was won by Celtic. They and Rangers had finished the league campaign level on 41 points, and a play-off at Hampden Park was arranged to decide the championship. An English-based referee was drafted in to officiate at the match due to increasing tensions between the two groups of supporters and controversies in recent matches between the sides. Celtic won 21, with Jimmy McMenemy and Davie Hamilton scoring the decisive goals.[1][2][3]
