Going for a bold prediction (will probably cost me the title I currently hold (with 3 others))

Will probably edit this a few times before the season kicks off:-

1. Celtic
2. Rangers
3. Hibernian
4. Aberdeen
5. Ross County
6. Heart of Midlothian
7. Motherwell
8. Kilmarnock
9. St Johnstone
10. Hamilton Academical
11. Livingston
12. St Mirren

A lot of people over estimating Hibs and Ross County, while simultaneously under rating Aberdeen and St Johnstone, IMO.

I think I've overestimated County, their current squad would get murdered in the top flight.  It'll be back to the usual new team every 6 months for them .

Everyone seems to be forgetting the "core of players that have top flight experience" are the same ones who got them relegated last time around.

Yep they're all 30 and over this year.

Celtic - I did almost change this, with Lennon at the helm, but then I looked at the nearest challangers.

Rangers - With very special thanks to Mssrs Madden, Walsh, Dallas, etc.

Aberdeen - I did almost change this too, but then I looked at the nearest challangers.

Hearts - Shithousing their way to fourth.

Motherwell - Recruited well.

Hibs - Not as good as they think they are.

Ross County - Hard place to travel.

Kilmarnock - I'll edit this once I see the new manager.

St Johnstone - Short on strikers.

Hamilton - Shithousing their way to 10th, again.

Livingstone - Meh.

St Mirren - I hope I'm wrong.

St Johnstone - I've a feeling their squad is ancient, that might be nonsense though.

Average age of 24, and only 3 players over 30 who played more than 10 games last season...

Like I said, that might be nonsense.


Not trying to be obtuse here, but why does squad age matter? Killie have the older average squad age in the league, does that mean you’ll be falling down the table as a result?

1-2 - I've got a sneaky suspicion Rangers could be a lot closer next season, and possibly even edge it. Will await transfers before deciding.

3-6 - finger in the air job for these positions at this stage, but I can't see anyone from this year's bottom six troubling them. I think Killie will suffer from the loss of Clarke but will still be comfortably in the mix for the boring half of the split. I also might swap Hearts and Aberdeen, but will depend on transfers. Hibs a stick-on for 5th, IMO.

7-8 - can't see past these two for those positions.

9 - We finally became something other than a complete pushover in the final quarter of the season (partly owing to the split, admittedly, but we did do well against Hearts and Dons prior to that, too). I think we'll be pretty stodgy next season (dat Gus McPherson influence), and I have a feeling it won't be pretty, but at least we'll not just be handing three points to anyone who wants them. It's a sound approach and will give us a platform to build on.

10-12 County will spend, and will need to, and it will be enough to make them safe. It's Accies' turn to beat United in the playoff next season. Sorry Livi, but I think this is the end of one of the more remarkable stories in Scottish football of the last few seasons.

I may be in a minority of one but I look forward to seeing us play the most brutal "non-football" ever seen in Scotland under GM & OK next season!

Gus McPherson roll is to identify players and watch opposition reporting  to Oran. Jimmy Nichol is assistant to Oran Jimmy being first team head coach bud.
