The dismissal of Liam Brady as Celtic manager in October after just over two years at the helm, and the appointment of Lou Macari as his successor. Macari's dismissal as Celtic manager in June, after the end of the season, after just eight months in charge. He was succeeded by Kilmarnock's Tommy Burns. Rangers paying a British record fee of £4million for Dundee United striker Duncan Ferguson before the start of the season. Dundee United's shock 1–0 win over Rangers in the Scottish Cup final, which deprived Rangers of a second successive domestic treble. Rangers signed Tottenham Hotspur striker Gordon Durie for £1.2million in November. Rangers retained the Premier Division title (their sixth in succession) and the League Cup. Further league reconstruction would be introduced for the 1994–1995 season resulting in four leagues of ten teams. This meant that there would be a new Scottish Third Division, so this season five teams were relegated from the first division and only one promoted (Stranraer) to the first division. The bottom eight teams of the old second division were 'relegated' to the new third division.
