Absolute fucking garbage in every comment, apart from the Dundee one.
They’ll get the results they deserve all right.

Stopped reading at promoted: Falkirk. 

Would not read again.

Falkirk seem to have  made the mistake of coming good just as Hearts, Hibs and Rangers were in the championship and then going into decline just as the  hurdles got lower.

Kazanskis one of these weird Dees who pops up every Summer, proclaims Dundee have finally gotten it right and their new manager is their hero, trolls about a bit, and then disappears when the season starts.

Prediction at this stage is a hard one to do, especially since half the clubs haven't even started their business.

  1. Celtic
  2. Aberdeen
  3. Rangers 
  4. Hibernian
  5. Kilmarnock
  6. Motherwell
  7. St Johnstone
  8. Dundee
  9. Hearts
  10. Hamilton
  11. Livingston
  12. St Mirren

Top four looks pretty set, and Kilmarnock make a set top five is Clarke stays. Hearts look like they've built an awful squad so far, based on the thought process they'll spend their whole budget on Milinkovic and Naismith, can see them getting late into the window and still having neither.

Motherwell, Saints and Dundee to scrap over the top final top six space, and whoever has the most clinical striker will take it. Motherwells almost inevitable signing of Ciftci should help them, especially if he gets fit, they always scramble some non-league fucker who scores every second game aswell. Got Saints above Dundee purely because McMillan and Kane look more capable than Moussa. Could easily change with signings.

Bottom three will be tight, Hamilton made some impressive defensive signings and are always able to scrap for points. Livingston in 11th is based on the fact they'll likely continue in the style they were playing, which means they'll pick up points here and there. St Mirren look awful, squad wise, and have appointed a manager who won't shut up shop. Can see them conceding a rake of goals on the counter.

I reserve the right to change this opinion in a months time.

I'd almost agree with something along these lines. You could almost split the league into 3 it seems: the top 4, the next 5, and then the bottom 3.

I see no reason to disagree with anything you've put there, sadly - we have a massive weight of work to do this summer.

It's obviously not impossible that we'll sign a big 15-goal striker and a decent wide player, who'd go a long way towards keeping us up, but I'd say our survival possibly hinges on whether John McGinn gets sold for proper money this summer.

  • Celtic: simple economics
  • Rangers: have got to get something right at some point
  • Aberdeen: Have money
  • Hearts: Assuming I remember to buy my lucky scarf on opening day this time
  • Saint Mirren: First Season Momentum
  • Hibs: Difficult Second Season causes Lennon to fall out with everybody
  • Motherwell: Nobody does mid table respectability quite like Motherwell
  • Livingston: First Season Momentum can only do so much
  • Saint Johnstone:  The golden era is over
  • Kilmarnock: Kris Boyd turns 35 in August
  • Dundee: Finally set up the all Dundee play off final that we all want to see
  • Hamilton: Surely it's their turn by now

Dundee to win the League Cup which will  finally replace Celtic's '86 league title as the thing that they keep going on about for the next three decades

Kris Boyd being old will have less affect on his ability to score than most. He doesn't move much anyway.

Plus we have Erwin and Brophy who know where the back of the net is and a fit again Kiltie, so I don't think we'll lack goals.

10. St Mirren

Teams in groups could really finish in any order within said group.

I was thinking more in terms of workload and recovering from knocks, as opposed to pace

You were lucky to get 42 games out of him last season at 34 you'll have to be luckier next season

My prediction is as follows:-

 

1. Celtic (C) (UCL)

------------------------------------------------

2. Rangers (UEL)

3. Kilmarnock (UEL)

------------------------------------------------

4. Aberdeen

5. Heart of Midlothian 

6. Hibernian (UEL)

------------------------------------------------

7. St Johnstone

8. St Mirren

9. Motherwell

10. Hamilton Academical

------------------------------------------------

11. Dundee (q)

------------------------------------------------

12. Livingston (R)

 

Betfed Cup:- Hamilton Academical 

William Hill Scottish Cup:- Hibernian

Celtic  (Brendan Rodgers will take holy orders halfway thru the season and hold impromptu masses at half time in a desperate attempt to keep the green half of Bigotdonia interested)

Sheep 

Hibs

Killie

Hertz

The Mighty

Dundee

St J

St Mydden

Hamilton & Livi to be locked together all year long with scarcely a point, pound or fan between them, but both to be saved from relegation because Sevco will finally die for the first time and happily no longer exist.
