Celtic Reserves had won the 2010 Scottish Women's First Division, but were unable to be promoted as league rules stipulate each club may field only one team in the Premier League.[4] Thus Hutchison Vale, as second-place finishers, were promoted to replace relegated Aberdeen. Dundee United Sports Club and Boroughmuir Thistle resigned from the league before the season commenced, resulting in Falkirk being offered promotion in February 2011.[5][6]
On the 17th matchday, Glasgow City secured their fifth straight Scottish title,[7] Spartans finished as runners-up.[1] and went on to complete a perfect season of 20 victories. Glasgow City also won the 2011 Scottish Women's Cup to complete the 'double'.
Owing to a lack of clubs eligible to be promoted, F.C. Kilmarnock Ladies were spared relegation and competed in the Premier League in 2012.[8][9]
