Scottish Championship table: how to read points and goal difference
The gap from top to bottom is 9 points. Stenhousemuir lead on 10 with a difference of +6; Queen's Park sit last on 1. Partick Thistle are second, 2 points behind.
Stenhousemuir score most with 8 goals. Partick Thistle defend best, conceding 1, while Greenock Morton have shipped 6 — the spread between those two says how uneven the league is at the back.
A club takes 1.33 points per match on average and scores 3.5 goals across the season. The median is 6 points (Livingston), with 4 clubs above it. The median describes a league better than the mean does: one runaway side pulls the mean up and barely moves the median.
The drop zone is 4 points from safety: Dunfermline Athletic sit 7th on 5, against Queen's Park on 1. Those are the numbers that decide the closing weeks.
Scottish Championship home and away: split points
The Scottish Championship table recomputes separately for home fixtures and for away ones. They are the same matches split by venue, so points in the two tables always sum back to the overall one.
Stenhousemuir take the most at home, 6 points from 2 matches, while Stenhousemuir lead away on 4 — more often different clubs than you would expect.
Livingston depend on their ground most: 6 points at home against 0 away, a gap of 6. Greenock Morton show the smallest split at -1. Across the league a club takes 1.5 more points at home than away.
Scottish Championship: goals, averages and difference
Across 20 matches the league has produced 35 goals, 1.75 per game. Home sides win 45% of the time, both teams score in 35%, and 15% finish over 2.5.
Arbroath carry the flattest goal difference at 0 — clubs on those numbers usually sit mid-table, equally far from the title and the drop.

Scottish Championship: division size and what it changes
The size of a division changes how its figures read. With 10 clubs each plays 4 matches, and a run of three or four results moves a position further than it would in a league twice the size: the sample is smaller, so chance weighs more.
For the same reason the points gap between neighbouring places tends to be narrower here and the middle of the table reorders more often. Goal difference is especially useful in a division this size, because it accumulates across every match and depends less on who a club happened to face recently.
Comparing this division with others on absolute numbers — goals scored, points taken — means little where the number of rounds differs. What compares is the relative measures: points per match, scoring rate, the share of draws.
Scotland: the divisions and where Scottish Championship sits
We cover 4 divisions in Scotland. Above this one sit Scottish Premiership. Below it run Scottish League One, Scottish League Two, computed on the same rules.
Inverness Caledonian Thistle have drawn most at 3, Livingston fewest at 0. Stenhousemuir defend best on the road, conceding 1 away from home.
Scottish Championship: match results and head-to-head
The widest result of the season is Ayr United against Arbroath, 2-0, a margin of 2. The highest-scoring match is Stenhousemuir against Inverness Caledonian Thistle at 3-1, 4 goals in all.
7 of 20 matches ended level, 35%. The draw rate is among the steadiest numbers a league produces: it moves less from season to season than goals scored or final positions do.
Any two clubs can be compared in the panel alongside, which reads the same results grid the home and away tables are computed from.
Common questions
How are points awarded in the Scottish Championship table?
Three points for a win, one for a draw, none for a defeat. A side with more wins can still sit below one that draws often, but only where the number of matches played differs.
What separates clubs level on points?
Goal difference first, then goals scored. Stenhousemuir currently lead Scottish Championship on 10 points with a difference of +6.
How does the home table differ from the overall one?
The home table counts only matches played at home and the away table only those on the road. They are the same fixtures, so the two sets of points add back to the overall table. A mid-table club is often in the top three of one of them.
How many goals does a match produce on average?
1.75 per game across 20 matches. Both teams score in 35% of them and 15% finish over 2.5 goals.
Where are previous seasons?
In the country archive: Scotland, final tables year by year, split by division and, where they existed, by territorial zone.
How can two clubs be compared?
Through the head-to-head panel: pick two sides and it returns the score of their meetings this season, read from the same results grid the home and away tables are computed from.
