The 1907–08 season was the 35th season of competitive football in Scotland and the 18th season of the Scottish Football League. This season also saw the first playing of the Scottish Consolation Cup.
League competitions Scottish League Division One
Celtic won the title ahead of Falkirk and Rangers. A 1–0 win at Rangers' home Ibrox in an Old Firm match on 25 April 1908 meant that they could not be caught by either pursuer. In the close season, the Celtic goalscorer Alec Bennett switched to Rangers, one of very few player moves directly between the rivals.
