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.[1]
