The New Year is nearly upon us.
As per usual, it's been another eventful 12-months in Scottish football.
With many highs and several lows, the Premiership has delivered plenty of drama and entertainment across 2022.
With 2023 now looming, Herald & Times Sport have taken a look back at each club during the year.
Here's our review of each current top-flight club and how they've fared.
Aberdeen
Best moment: Making huge profits on Calvin Ramsay and Lewis Ferguson. Not an on-field selection here, but the money raised by both sales allowed Jim Goodwin to revamp his squad.
Low point: Conceding two last-minute goals to somehow lose from a winning position against Rangers. A mystery.
Player of the Year: Connor Barron. His emergence in the team is a big positive for the Dons. A top young talent who can continue to develop. He's made a big impression in the north east.
Overall rating: 6/10. This year won't be remembered too fondly by the Dons faithful. Things are tough currently. Goodwin will likely need time to get the club back to where it wants to be.
Celtic
Best moment: Thrashing Rangers in February. It signalled a turning in the tide domestically back in the Hoops' favour. They haven't looked back since.
Low point: Losing Scottish Cup semi-final to Rangers. Chance to go on and win a treble gone against a physically and mentally tired team.
Player of the Year: Callum McGregor. So many to choose from, but the skipper truly does lead by example and helps to orchestrate the team.
Overall rating: 9/10. A return to Champions League football and dominance in the league, this year couldn't have panned out much better.
Dundee United
Best moment: Beating AZ Alkmaar. Didn't count for anything in the end, but Glenn Middleton's goal in front of a packed crowd in August was a special moment for the club.
Low point: Losing 9-0 to Celtic at Tannadice. Undoubtedly. An easy answer.
Player of the Year: Dylan Levitt. The midfielder is a silky player. A full Welsh international, signing him permanently from Manchester United was smart business.
Overall rating: 6/10. It's kind of been a tale of two-halves - the old cliché. Great end to last season, finishing fourth, but a terrible first-half of the current campaign with Jack Ross sacked before the end of the summer.
Hearts
Best moment: Taking to the European stage once more. A real money spinner to enter the group stages too. Two wins against RFS gave supporters something to cheer.
Low point: Scottish Cup final loss to Rangers. After their opponents' disappointment only a few days prior, it was a real chance to lift a trophy.
Player of the Year: Lawrence Shankland. Yes, we hear you saying he's only been there for less than half of 2022. But the Scotland cap has made a significant impact on Robbie Neilson's side and is on course to finish the league's top scorer this season.
Overall rating: 8/10. A year to remember for the Jambos. They'll be hoping for more to come.
Hibs
Best moment: Equalising against Hearts with the final kick of the game. A fitting return for Martin Boyle to slot home.
Low point: Finishing in bottom six last term. A poor outcome for a club of Hibs' size. Played a part in Shaun Maloney losing his job after only four months.
Player of the Year: Ryan Porteous. It looks like he's coming towards the end of his time at Easter Road. He will move on to pastures new in the near future, but he certainly gave his all for the club in 2022.
Overall rating: 6/10. Lee Johnson came in during the summer. You can see what he's trying to achieve, but it's clearly going to take time. Results a bit up and down.
Kilmarnock
Best moment: Winning the Championship title. That night against Arbroath will live long in the memory.
Low point: Defeat at home against Ayr in February. Never good to lose a derby, especially when it kept Killie adrift in the promotion race.
Player of the Year: Blair Alston. Simply, without his late strike the title could've been lost.
Overall rating: 7/10. Back in the top flight & booked a return to Hampden for first time in over a decade. Two huge successes for the Ayrshire side.
Livingston
Best moment: Earning a point at Ibrox in October with ten men. They were close to all three as well.
Low point: Missing out on top-half finish last season after throwing away two goal lead over Motherwell.
Player of the Year: Cristian Montano. Livi have had a few standout individuals, but the left-winger's form has been a big factor in their consistency.
Overall rating: 7/10. Finished top of the bottom six last term & look on course for top six tilt this season, which would be a superb achievement.
Motherwell
Best moment: Finishing fifth last season. Another impressive finish for the Fir Park club despite poor overall form this calendar year.
Low point: Losing Conference League tie to Sligo Rovers. Totally embarrassing.
Player of the Year: Kevin van Veen. Leads the line well and appears to be somewhat of a talismanic figure.
Overall rating: 5/10. It really has been a mixed bag. As stated, their form throughout 2022 has been patchy at best. Concerns starting to mount this term too.
Rangers
Best moment: Reaching the Europa League final. It didn't go their way in the end but the fans & players will never forget that run. Champions League qualification gets an honourable mention.
Low point: Falling nine points behind Celtic in the current campaign. Things went stale, Giovanni van Bronckhorst was sacked as a result.
Player of the Year: James Tavernier. The captain is the club's most consistent player. Rangers' success in 2022 has been more of a team effort, but Tav takes this one.
Overall rating: 8/10. A Scottish Cup win at least secured some silverware despite Europa League heartache & Premiership disappointment.
Ross County
Best moment: Securing a top six finish last term after a terrible start. The Staggies showed their quality and Malky Mackay had them playing some slick football.
Low point: Sitting bottom of the pile heading into the New Year. It's tight, so things could change in a flash. But it's certainly an unwanted tag.
Player of the Year: Regan Charles-Cook. No longer at the club, the 25-year-old had a stunning campaign, particularly in the early months of 2022 to help the club turn their fortunes around. He finished top scorer in the league.
Overall rating: 7/10. Similar to several clubs, there's been many good and bad periods. The positives outweigh the negatives in this instance but they'll need to be better heading into 2023.
St Johnstone
Best moment: Beating Rangers 2-1 at McDiarmid. This seemed to be proof that Callum Davidson's side has turned a corner this term after last season's struggles.
Low point: Having to contest the Premiership play-off with Inverness. They came out the other side, but it's not a tie any top-flight team wants to be involved in.
Player of the Year: Callum Hendry. Again, he's moved on from the club. But had it not been for the striker's goals after being recalled from his loan at Killie last January, relegation was a stark possibility.
Overall rating: 6/10. Things are moving in the right direction again for the Perth outfit after what was undoubtedly a campaign to forget.
St Mirren
Best moment: Defeating Celtic. The Buddies inflicted a first loss on the champions in nearly a whole calendar year. It was a special day in Paisley.
Low point: Early League Cup exit. The regular season hadn't even started and St Mirren were out of the competition at the group stages.
Player of the Year: Keanu Baccus. What a signing. Hopefully for their sake, he stays around, but also, hopefully the Australia international makes the club a tidy sum when he inevitably moves on in his career.
Overall rating: 7/10. A solid year overall. Importantly, Stephen Robinson appears to have laid strong foundations for an improved year ahead with should be cause for optimism.
