AS players return to pre-season and transfer deals get wrapped up, the latest Scottish Premiership predictions have revealed that Celtic will defend their crown, beating Rangers who are predicted to finish second.
The supercomputer prediction via BonusCodeBets has been forecast using a range of informative outright odds markets to formulate what the final table will look like.

At the bottom end of the division, Ross County are predicted to prop up the table and finish last, with St Mirren facing the prospect of the relegation play-off by finishing 11th.
St Johnstone rode their luck in the relegation play-off last year but will avoid similar peril and will finish two places higher in 9th this term.
Aberdeen will improve from last year’s disappointment to finish fifth, while Motherwell drop out of future Europa Conference contention with a sixth-place finish.
