Normally about this time we work out the permutations of who is going where

Division 1

Hamilton will not be champions if a) they don't turn up or b) they lose and Dundee score 4 more board points than them

Relegation could go down to board count as it is likely we will see 3 teams on 4 points and 1 on 3. To make it more exciting, all 4 are paired up. EK are most likely to be relegated but the reality is it is too close to call

Division 2

Simples Forth Valley and Greenwood are promoted. Forth Valley need a draw in their last game to win

Edinburgh 2 and Hamilton B are relegated

Division 3

Edinburgh Uni are champions, Kingdom Knights are going up with them

Corstorphine are relegated. Lanark in 3rd are safe. Anyone else can be relegated by a series of results. Most likely are Ayrshire Armageddon who have to face Edinburgh Uni.

Division 4

Champions are Inverclyde, not bad for their first season, joining them in next seasons Division 3 is a 2 way battle (as Giffnock have had to default) between Pentlands Hills and Ayr, in the words of Abba, the winners take it all...
