Notes:
- Teams played each other three times (33 matches), before the league split into two groups (the top six and the bottom six) for the last five matches.
- As Rangers, the 2002–03 Scottish Cup winners, qualified for the UEFA Champions League via their league position, the place in the UEFA Cup was passed onto Dundee, the cup runners-up
