Pre-season predictions for the 2022/23 Premiership season have kicked off - and it's Celtic who are believed to come out on top against Rangers again.
Summer time means the transfer rumour mill is spinning but it's also a time of optimism for fans across the nation, sizing up what is possible for their team. Celtic won the title in Ange Postecoglou 's first term in charge and it's up to Ibrox boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst to rally his troops for a silverware challenge after May's Europa League final and Scottish Cup victory.
This term in Scotland's top flight, it is expected that the Hoops will come out on top once again to win an 11th title in 12 seasons. BonusCodeBets have booted up their supercomputer for another season to see how it goes along with the latest odds, with Celtic 8/13 favourites to be champions once more. Rangers are priced 5/4.

Hearts and Hibs make up the rest of the top four while Aberdeen come in at fifth, with Motherwell finishing sixth.
Dundee United top the bottom six with Livingston and St Johnstone just below them. Kilmarnock are tipped to survive after winning the Championship last year, coming in at 10th.
That condemns St Mirren to the relegation play-off spot while Ross County are thought to drop from sixth to bottom.
It all gets underway in the final weekend of July, with Celtic taking on Aberdeen while Rangers compete against Livingston.
