The participation of Rangers was dependent on the outcome of a vote by SPL clubs on whether or not a "newco" Rangers will be allowed an SPL licence.^[2] When the fixture list was published on 18 June 2012, Rangers were replaced by the term "Club 12", pending the outcome of the vote.^[2]^[3] Eight clubs publicly declared that they would oppose the newco Rangers, which would mean that it could not enter the SPL.^[4] The vote took place on 4 July 2012, and the newco Rangers were refused entry to the SPL.^[5] Dundee were promoted from the Scottish First Division after finishing second in the 2011-12 season.^[5]
