The 2012–13 Scottish Premier League was the fifteenth and final season of the Scottish Premier League, the highest division of Scottish football, since its inception in 1998. The season began on 4 August 2012 and ended on 19 May 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Key dates )〕 Twelve teams contested the league. Ross County (champions) and Dundee (runners-up) were promoted from the 2011–12 First Division, replacing Dunfermline (relegated) and Rangers, who were granted entry to the Scottish Third Division after entering liquidation. On 21 April, Celtic retained their title after a 4–1 home win against Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Celtic Park. This was the final season of the Scottish Premier League before it was abolished in June 2013, when the SPL and SFL merged to form the new Scottish Professional Football League,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scottish Football League clubs vote in favour of a proposed merger with the Scottish Premier League. )〕 with its top division being known as the Scottish Premiership. ==Teams== Dunfermline were relegated from the 2011–12 Scottish Premier League. Ross County, who won the 2011–12 Scottish First Division, were promoted. The 2012–13 season marks the top-flight debut for the Highland team. The participation of Rangers, who failed to exit administration via a CVA after a proposed agreement with its creditors was rejected, was dependent on the outcome of a vote by SPL clubs on whether or not Rangers would be able to transfer their SPL membership share to a new company. When the fixture list was published on 18 June 2012, Rangers were replaced by the term "Club 12", pending the outcome of the vote.〔 Eight clubs publicly declared that they would oppose the membership transfer to Rangers' newco, which would mean that they could not play in the SPL. The vote took place on 4 July 2012, and Rangers were refused re-entry to the SPL by a 10-1 majority. Dundee, who had finished second in the 2011–12 Scottish First Division, were invited to replace Rangers.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2012–13 Scottish Premier League」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
