Scottish League Division One

Main article: 1961–62 Scottish First Division

Dundee had an excellent start to the season, including a 5–1 win away to Rangers, and having a seemingly invincible lead by Christmas. A poor
run of form in the new year, including a run of 3 successive defeats, allowed Rangers to move to the top of the table. Rangers themselves lost to
Dundee United and Aberdeen in the closing weeks allowing Dundee to take the title with a 3–0 win at St Johnstone on the last day of the season.
