Notes:
  1. Teams played each other three times (33 matches), before the league split into two groups (the top six and the bottom six) for the last five matches.
  2. Hibernian qualified for the 2004 UEFA Intertoto Cup as the highest placed team to apply to participate in the competition.
gollark: It is several months old (I think) and not made to annoy anyone.
gollark: I mean, maybe ~50 blocks?
gollark: It wasn't very close when it was actually claimed.
gollark: Deliberately put near there (it should contain a hole and some fake lava) mostly because I was bored and ended up digging a hole for some reason, but pretty far from any actual claim.
gollark: As in, I think months.
