Notes:
  1. Players second spell at the club; 1st spell 2020–2022
  2. Teams play each other three times (33 matches), before the league is split into two groups (the top six and the bottom six).
  3. As the winners of the 2023–24 Scottish Cup, Celtic, qualified for the Champions League, the berth reserved for the cup winners (Europa League play-off round) passed to the third-placed team. The berths for the Europa League second qualifying round and the Conference League second qualifying round were passed down to the fourth- and fifth-placed teams.
