St Johnstone secured their Championship title with a decisive 1-0 victory over Ayr on May 1, 2026, finishing the season 11 points clear at the top of the table. Meanwhile, Ross County faced relegation after suffering a dramatic 3-2 defeat to Raith.
Kai Fotheringham scored the only goal of the match against Ayr, ensuring St Johnstone’s successful campaign. This victory marked St Johnstone’s fifth consecutive win in the Championship, solidifying their dominance throughout the season.
On another front, Ross County ended their season at the bottom of the table following their loss to Raith. The match featured an intense finish, with Jayden Carbon equalizing for Ross County in the sixth minute of stoppage time before they ultimately succumbed to defeat.
Airdrieonians also faced challenges, finishing in the relegation play-off spots after drawing 1-1 with Morton. Euan Henderson had given Airdrieonians an early lead just three minutes into the second half before Lewis Strapp received a red card shortly thereafter, complicating their efforts.
This season has been particularly tough for Ross County, who suffered back-to-back relegations after a six-year stay in the Premiership ended with a play-off defeat last season. As St Johnstone prepares for life in the top flight next season, fans are eager to see how they will fare against stronger competition.
