Scottish League One? Team's First Division (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

split

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'division' is the definition.
(I know that division can be written as split)

'scottish league one? team's first' is the wordplay.
'scottish league' becomes 'spl' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'one?' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'team's first' becomes 't' (sst letter of 'team').
'spl'+'i'+'t'='SPLIT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for split that I've seen before include "Chop or divide" , "Sliced < peach" , "Separate, break into parts" , "grass" , "Divorce - Adriatic city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
