Notes
  1. ^
    A: Kilmarnock's match against Motherwell on 2 October was postponed after six Kilmarnock players tested positive for COVID-19. Following an SPFL investigation, Motherwell were initially awarded a technical 3–0 win[45] pending an appeal from Kilmarnock.[46] However the result was eventually overturned and rescheduled for a later date.
