Notes:
- Teams play each other three times (33 matches), before the league is split into two groups (the top six and the bottom six).
- Since the winners of the 2018–19 Scottish Cup, Celtic, qualified for European competition based on league position, the spot awarded to the Scottish Cup winners (Europa League first qualifying round) was passed to the fourth-placed team.
