Scottish Fourth Level Champions

Dumbarton’s Third Division title this season means they become the first team in Scotland to have won league titles at all four professional league levels.

This also keeps alive the sequence of 15 different winners of the Third Division, since it’s inception 15 seasons ago in 1994/95.

9 teams have won multiple promotions to the Second Division, but strangely no team has won the division twice - Forfar Athletic have won promotion three times - bizarrely winning promotion in three different positions (1st, 2nd and 3rd).

24 teams in total have played in the Third Division, the only two who have played in all 15 seasons are Albion Rovers and East Stirlingshire - Montrose have played in 14, Queen’s Park 12, and Cowdenbeath 11 - Elgin City (9 seasons) and Annan Athletic (1 season) have played in every season since their inception into the league system.

East Stirlingshire have never finished higher than their 3rd place finish this season, and have a chance for their first promotion since 1979/80 - they famously finished last in the division for 5 straight seasons (2002/03 to 2006/07) and were threatened with expulsion from the division if they did so again the following season!

Four teams have been promoted in the only seasons they have played in the division, with Livingston, Hamilton and Greenock Morton winning the league in their only season - Stranraer have played in the division twice, winning it in 2003/04 and being promoted (after Gretna’s demise) as runners-up in 2007/08.
