Scottish League One (tier 3) surprisingly still features Falkirk in 2023-24 who are now facing 5 seasons at this level. Why surprising, well the Bairns may not be a powerhouse but they were playing in Europe as recently as 2009-10 and were Scottish Cup Finalists in 2015. They finished a clear second last year and also reached the Scottish Cup Semi-Finals. They look justifiable favourites for the title although will have competition from Hamilton who have not played at this level for many years.<\/p>\n

We expect these two to battle it out for the title and ultimately to be promoted.<\/p>\n

Playoff Places<\/h3>\n

Alloa looks the best of the rest and League Two Champions Stirling Albion might also be in with a chance. They were might impressive last year but this is a bit of a step up.<\/p>\n

Relegation candidates<\/h3>\n

Annan Athletic have reached this level for the first time ever, however, it could be a short stay. Cove Rangers found life in the championship a bit tough and might just struggle again this but should survive the playoff final.<\/p>\n
