The World Cup might have only just hit the last 32 stage, but the beginning of the Scottish Premiership is now just 30 days away as the domestic campaign gets set to restart in August.
Despite Hearts pushing them all the way, it was Celtic who retained their crown for a fifth successive season, as late strikes from Daizen Maeda and Callum Osmand sealed a 3-1 victory over their title rivals on the final day of the season. Can they challenge yet again? Or will Rangers push on, overtake them and become the main challengers under Derek McInnes?
Motherwell may have lost head coach Jens Berthel Askou, but they’ll be desperate to show last season’s fourth-place finish was no flash in the pan, while Hibs and Falkirk will have their own designs on a top-half finish alongside Aberdeen and Dundee United.
But where will each team finish come the end of the campaign? Here is where every team is predicted to finish in the Scottish Premiership table come May 2027*.
