Notes

The 1985–86 season was the 89th season of competitive football in Scotland.

Celtic won the League and became champions in one of the closest finishes in League history. On the final day of the season Hearts were leading Celtic by two points – a draw against Dundee would have been sufficient to see them win their first League title since the 1959–60 season. Hearts lost 2-0 to Dundee at Dens Park thanks to two late goals by substitute Albert Kidd, while Celtic beat St. Mirren 5–0 at Love Street. As a result, Celtic won the league on goal difference.

Relegation was suspended due to league reconstruction, therefore Motherwell and Clydebank retained their Premier Division status.
