2017–18 SPFL Development League

For the 2017–18 season of the Development League, three teams chose to withdraw from the competition. Dunfermline Athletic announced in May 2017 that due to the proposals made under 'Project Brave', which would see the implementation of a reserve league from the 2018–19 to replace the Development League, the club would not participate in the final year of the competition.{{cite web |url=http://www.dafc.co.uk/story.php?t=Chairman`s_Statement&ID=9986 |title=Chairman's statement |publisher=Dunfermline Athletic FC |date=8 May 2017 |accessdate=1 August 2017}} Rangers also announced their intention to withdraw from the competition, instead receiving permission from the SPFL to take part in a programme of fixtures against a number of European elite youth teams, for example, Manchester United, Benfica and Bayern Munich.{{cite web |url=https://stv.tv/sport/football/1388513-rangers-quit-spfl-development-league-to-try-new-approach/ |title=Rangers quit SPFL Development League to try new approach |work=STV Sport |publisher=STV |date=14 May 2017 |accessdate=1 August 2017 |first=Andy |last=Coyle}}{{cite web |url=http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/teams/rangers/rangers-opt-out-of-development-league-to-challenge-european-elite-1-4445861 |title=Rangers opt out of Development League to challenge European elite |work=The Scotsman |date=15 May 2017 |accessdate=1 August 2017 |first=David |last=Gunn}} Inverness Caledonian Thistle also withdrew from the 2017–18 competition.
