1999–2000 Scottish Second Division Explained

Nextseason:2000–01

The 1999–2000 Scottish Second Division was won by Clyde and ended with Alloa Athletic pipping Ross County to second place on the final day of the season thanks to a 6-1 win over Queen of the South, while Ross County could only manage a 2-2 draw away at Stenhousemuir. The top three were promoted as a result of league reconstruction. Hamilton Academical were relegated after they were docked 15 points for breaking league rules: with the players in dispute with the club management over unpaid wages, the team failed to fulfil a fixture against Stenhousemuir on 1 April 2000 at Ochilview Park.[1]
