Inverness win title & champions East Kilbride make history

Inverness Caledonian Thistle secured the Scottish League 1 title as East Kilbride created history by winning League 2.

Caley Thistle ended the season by defeating Hamilton Academical 2-1 to finish two points above Stenhousemuir despite having been deducted five points for entering administration last season.

And East Kilbride, who stepped up to the senior leagues for the first time by winning the Lowland League last term, thumped third-place Clyde 5-0 to finish five points clear of Spartans in the fourth tier.

For Caley Thistle, it was revenge for being relegated by Accies after defeat in the Championship play-off final two seasons ago.

• Make or break for Rangers - what next in Scottish title race?
• Dundee win drops St Mirren into relegation play-off spot
• What went wrong for relegated Livingston?

Defeat leaves Hamilton, who were themselves deducted 21 points this season for breaking various SPFL rules, facing the play-offs to avoid a second successive relegation. Accies, who finished two points behind East Fife, play Forfar Athletic in the semi-finals.

Without the points penalties, Hamilton would have instead be facing second-top Stenhousemuir in the promotion play-off semi-final.

The part-time Warriors finished two points behind Inverness after a final-day 2-0 win at Montrose.

Stenhousemuir will instead face Queen of the South, who finished 13 points behind, after a 4-1 win over Alloa Athletic that lifted the Dumfries side above their hosts.

Alloa will take on on Airdrieonians, who finished second bottom in the Championship.

Meanwhile, East Kilbride made it two promotions in a row with an emphatic 5-0 win at home to Clyde and will replace Kelty Hearts, who had already been relegated, in the third tier next season.
