With Rosyth sadly having to fold the league matches they have played in before their resignation will be wiped from the record books  with all results , goals for and against being cancelled . They will be placed at the bottom  of the First Division and will be recognised as one of the three clubs to be relegated from the First division .  This will mean that

next season there will be 15 teams in division 2  with reconciliation of 16 teams being restored at the end of next season 2024/2025 . This was the agreement at the start of the season , with all clubs knowing what they were playing for this season and next season clubs will know what they are playing for next season going forward .
