Maryhill withdrew after 2 matches. Both results void.
Polytechnic E failed to complete 50% of their fixtures and are ejected from
the competition. All results void.

The failure of Polytechnic E to complete 50% of their fixtures sees their
automatic withdrawal and cancellation of their results. So subject to penalty
points, this is the final table for division 4. A well merited win for Glasgow
Montrose B who will surely do well in division 3. A close second place for a
young Holy Cross C side sees them go up as well. The third promotion place
looks like going to Renfrew - even although they have penalty points yet to be
deducted. There is no relegation due to withdrawals.
