Title Race: Celtic Set to Dominate
The supercomputer predicts Celtic will claim the 2025/2026 Scottish Premiership title with 88 points, ending their recent run of close battles and capitalizing on their attacking depth and Brendan Rodgers’ tactical nous. After dominating Scottish football with 12 of the last 13 titles, Celtic are tipped to overpower rivals Rangers, who are projected to finish second with 82 points. Rangers’ expected squad reinforcements in the summer transfer window could make the race tighter, but Celtic’s consistency gives them the edge.
European Spots: Hearts and Hibs Shine
Heart of Midlothian (Hearts) are forecasted to secure third place with 65 points, earning a Europa League spot. Their strong 2024/2025 season, driven by Lawrence Shankland’s goals and a robust defense, underpins this prediction. Hibernian (Hibs) are expected to take fourth with 58 points, potentially securing a Conference League berth. David Gray’s attacking system and Hibs’ upward trajectory make them a strong contender to outperform expectations.
Mid-Table and Relegation Battles
Aberdeen, revitalized under Jimmy Thelin, are predicted to finish fifth with 52 points, a significant leap from their 2024/2025 campaign. Kilmarnock and St Mirren are set to round out the top six with 50 and 48 points, respectively, thanks to their disciplined setups. Dundee and Dundee United are projected for mid-table finishes with 45 and 43 points, respectively, showing steady progress. Motherwell, with 40 points, and newly promoted Falkirk, with 35 points, are expected to avoid relegation comfortably.
The supercomputer predicts a tough season for the play-off winner—either Ross County or Livingston—who are slated to finish bottom with 30 points, facing relegation back to the Championship. Their struggle to match the Premiership’s intensity could prove costly.
