Overview

The 1999–2000 Scottish Premier League was won by Rangers for the second successive year, finishing 21 points ahead of nearest rivals Celtic. As the SPL was being expanded to 12 teams, the bottom finishing side were to face the second and third finishing sides from the first division, in a three team play-off. However, due to Falkirk's stadium not meeting SPL requirements, Aberdeen remained in the SPL and Dunfermline were promoted automatically from second position. As champions, Rangers qualified for the Champions League while Celtic and third-placed Hearts qualified for the UEFA Cup.

Celtic entered the season under new management with former Liverpool player John Barnes taking charge in June 1999.cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sport/football/scottish_premier/365579.stm|publisher=BBC News|title=Dalglish back at Parkhead |date=1999-06-10|accessdate=2008-04-20] It proved to be a brief and unsuccessful reign, however, after being sacked in February 2000 in the wake of a Scottish Cup defeat to First Division Inverness Caledonian Thistle.cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/637415.stm|publisher=BBC News|title=Barnes forced out|date=2000-02-10|accessdate=2008-04-20]
