Supercomputer predicts Celtic and Rangers title chances while Aberdeen tipped for revival behind Hearts

It may be transfer time across the Scottish Premiership, but pre-season predictions are a summer staple.

After the first few weeks of last season, no-one could see Celtic going on to play the way they did. A sticky start for Ange Postecoglou meant Rangers were tipped to win a second successive title. But the Aussie and his team soon hit their stride, and two derby victories over their city rivals saw the pull away and retain the title. They did share the domestic cups between them, the Hoops lifting the Premier Sports Cup before the Gers finally got their hands on the Scottish Cup again.

This term, Postecoglou is expected to guide his team to the top of the pile once agai. BonusCodeBets have fired up the supercomputer to map out how they see the season going, along with the latest odds, with Celtic 8/13 favourites to be champions again. Rangers are 5/4

Hearts were miles clear in third place, and Robbie Neilson’s team have been tipped to finish as best of the rest once more at 4/11 in the top six betting. Better is expected from Hibs, with fourth place their predicted finish, priced at 4/9. Aberdeen's return to the top six is 1/2.

As for who’s going down, Ross County are 5/4 favourites to say farewell to the top flight. Livingston are next in the betting at 6/4 to finish bottom.
