Notes:
  1. [a]
    Hearts qualified for the Europa League as 2011–12 Scottish Cup winners. Since they finished fifth in the league, the sixth-placed team, St Johnstone, also qualified for the Europa League.

Transfers

St Johnstone's first significant move in the close season was to release nine first-team players, most of whom were forwards.[8] David Robertson became their first signing during the close season, being brought in from Dundee United.[9] He was followed by Sean Higgins from Dundee and Callum Davidson from Preston North End, all arriving on free transfers.[10] The departures continued, however, with the news that Danny Grainger had joined Hearts and Michael Duberry was leaving to return to England.
