Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Goal difference; 3) Goals scored; 4) Head-to-Head points; 5) Head-to-Head goal difference; 6) Play-off (only if deciding champion, UEFA competitions qualification, second stage group allocation or relegation).[34]
Notes:

Teams play each other three times (33 matches), before the league is split into two groups (the top six and the bottom six).
Should the winners of the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League also qualify for the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League group stage via their domestic league, the Scottish Premiership winners will instead qualify for the group stage.
