2026-27 Scottish Premiership Predictor begins this week

Jack | Operations & Media Manager

Wed 29 Jul 2026

It's been just over a week since Spain won the World Cup, with a rare little period of rest time for us all ever since, but we all know that football never stops and the 2026-27 club season begins this week on Superbru Football!

Though many other leagues are still a few weeks away with pre-season tours only just beginning, the Scottish Premiership is an early starter and kick-off is this Friday.

2026-27 Scottish Premiership

After a memorable 2025-26 campaign in which the title race between Celtic and Hearts went right down to the final day, it will be fascinating to see how things shape up this year.

In their first season following investment from Brighton owner Tony Bloom, Hearts came so close to a first title since 1960 which would have ended Celtic's recent dominance. Instead, it's now 5 league titles in a row for Celtic who have been victorious in 14 of the last 15 campaigns.

Was that Hearts' big chance? Or will they go again as the Bloom era develops? Manager Derek McInnes has left for Rangers, as has striker Lawrence Shankland, with Belgian coach Wouter Vrancken the new man in charge.

Rangers will of course be hoping that the experience that both McInnes and Shankland have in Scotland will lead them to a far less turbulent and more successful season, but the 10-point gap between themselves and Celtic last season will be tough to bridge considering Celtic will hope to be far stronger themselves now that Martin O'Neill has agreed to stay on a more permanent basis.

I'm looking forward to this one. I've never done too great in this one and most of my football competitions. Bring it on! My best result was winning the Olympics soccer.

My best was on the Zimbabwe and Nigeria club soccer..... 29 Jul 13:38

That sounds like an interesting competition. How did you do on the Tour De France?
Overall, I did okay. 29 Jul 13:58

110,198 caps

Global @ 771.... Not so good 🍺🍻😔🤔 29 Jul 14:02

Sorry.... Only on the Zimbabwe soccer 😟😣 29 Jul 14:40

115 caps

Come on St Mirren hope they do well this year (placed 11th last season😭)

29 Jul 18:56

36,727 caps

I would just like to get more predictions correct this season.😁Of course! The green and white hoops of Celtic will win it again. St. Mirren to finish second.😮 29 Jul 22:39

36,727 caps

Do you have your own predictions, Jack? I think your sagacious thoughts for these matches would be insightful and useful. I think it would be useful to have reviews for all of tthe main leagues. However, I understand that would be time consuming for you. 30 Jul 01:14

I think the Superbru guys should hire Dave C. to write some of the articles for football. He is way more knowledgeable then the average person on Superbru.
Maybe Dave could give us his thoughts on the Scottish Premier league. 31 Jul 16:04

11,652 caps

Thanks Marko lol. I really just go with my gut instinct though and my experience of knowing the better teams and weaker teams through several decades of either following or knowing about domestic leagues. 31 Jul 16:20

11,652 caps

Looking forward to playing it.

30 Jul 00:32

36,727 caps

The main man is back! Looking forward to trying to competing against you again, Dave. 30 Jul 00:46

11,652 caps

Thanks Gunslinger, appreciate it. Looking forward to competing against you, too. I had to give the world cup final article a break as all the corruption talk was annoying me (though Argentina did disappointment me in the final with both their playstyle and behaviour).

I hope you are ok, Andy 30 Jul 07:34

36,727 caps

Doing great, Dave. Yeah, there is a lot of negavtive enrgy surrounding the WC. There were many controversial decisions during the tournament. Now, the president of FIFA wants to treat this tournament like an auction, with DT potentially benefiting greatly from his proposal. I can't see his crazy plan coming though. 31 Jul 04:15

36,727 caps

coming off though. 31 Jul 04:16

11,652 caps

Hi mate

Yeah this idea of selling shares in the World Cup is football dystopia. UEFA have apparently already said they will boycott the World Cup if it happen (all 55 members). Infantino is out of control. Cannot imagine it will happen as there will be too much blowback.

Pleased you are well. 31 Jul 04:20

36,727 caps

Anyways, I hope to conquer this SPL this season. It's really tough to predict most of the time. 31 Jul 05:52

11,652 caps

It is quite difficult to predict, but let's see how it goes. I am playing 10 tournaments this season lol (England. Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Scotland, EFL Championship, Champions League, Europa League and FA Cup). I normally play 9 but adding in the Championship. 31 Jul 05:54

36,727 caps

I'll play any tournament.😁Top 1% in Wimbledon last time. Managed to get number 7 out of around 5,600. Where did you finish in the WC, Dave? 31 Jul 06:09

11,652 caps

That's exceptional man, really well done.

I finished 117th in the world out of about 391,000 and 24th in the UK out of about 63.000, for the World Cup. 31 Jul 06:17

36,727 caps

That's equally as impressive. 31 Jul 06:45

11,652 caps

Cheers, just gonna go out now - talk soon. 31 Jul 06:46

11,178 caps

Glad to have you join my and Andy's pools for your tournaments Dave. Looking forward to the tough competition you bring and good luck with all your picks. 31 Jul 16:07

11,652 caps

Thanks Marko. We will see how it goes. After a very strong 24-25 I tailed off a little in 25-26, though it was still pretty good. We'll see how it goes. 31 Jul 16:21

11,178 caps

I am sure you will be strong in all the tournaments this year. It will be quite the challenge to try and best you Dave, but I will try. Cheers 31 Jul 18:09

11,652 caps

Thanks Marko, will be fun playing. 31 Jul 18:42

The countdown is on for another exciting Scottish Premiership season, and I can't wait to see the competition get underway. Every year brings fresh storylines, fierce rivalries, and unforgettable moments that make Scottish football so special. It will be fascinating to see which teams exceed expectations, which new signings make an immediate impact, and who rises to the occasion when it matters most. From the opening fixtures to the final whistle of the season, there's sure to be plenty of drama, passion, and quality football. Wishing every club and supporter an incredible season filled with memorable matches and great success.

Andy is that your poem. I caught your reference to our club motto. To be the best you must beat the best. Nice work my friend. 31 Jul 16:09

36,727 caps

Yeah, I did. I might try some petry from time-to-time. 31 Jul 17:29

11,178 caps

Keep it going bro. You have a talent for poetry and I enjoy reading it. 31 Jul 18:11

11,652 caps

Yeah it's a nice poem. And that is Ric Flair's motto too, Marko, lol. 31 Jul 18:51

11,178 caps

I didn't know that Dave. I wasn't into that Big-time Wrestling. That's what we call it , but I guess it's Professional Wrestling back then. 1 Aug 04:45

11,652 caps

Ric's motto is actually to be the man, you have to beat the man, but same principle applies I don't watch wrestling anymore either. 1 Aug 08:35

6,741 caps

I am a rugby fan but have done better predicting football the past year or two. Anyway, thoroughly enjoying participating in the Scottish premiership and hoping to keep the RSA flag flying, with acknowledgements to my Scottish ancestry!

You did well in SPFL last season man - top 1 percent. 31 Jul 04:23

Well here we go again ... I guess it's gonna be another Season of biting my finger nails as being a ST.MIRREN fan not a great deal to look forward to except defending The Scottish League Cup, but even that looks bad now we've drawn Rangers at Ibrox, Oh well ..... COME ON YOU BUDDIES !!!!!!!!!!!

30 Jul 11:46

36,727 caps

A nice win for them.😁 1 Aug 18:58

Looking forward to a step-up from Rangers this season. Hi Dave, TG and other esteemed players. Looking forward to your knowledge sharing. Let the games begin!!!

30 Jul 18:09

11,652 caps

Hi Frank, thanks, you been ok? It should be fun. 31 Jul 04:00

11,652 caps

First game tonight - Rangers away at Tannadice. Tricky start for them, especially with new signings and a lot of change.

31 Jul 04:02

43,856 caps

All's good this side. Rested after the frustrations of WC - followed TDF. Hoping for a walk-in-the-Park tonight. But first game,... as you say lotsa changes. 31 Jul 07:46

11,652 caps

Glad you are doing well, Frank. I will probably give the game a watch tonight. 31 Jul 16:22

11,652 caps

I watched the first half then was very tired about 9pm so fell asleep. It looked like Dundee United had most of the game, first half. Not sure if Rangers played better second half, though they did equalise so maybe.

I was a bit wary of backing Rangers (even though I did). They haven't won an opening game for the last three seasons (four now) and Tannadice is a tricky place to go. Let's see how today's games go. I won't be watching I don't think but I will keep an eye on scoreline

It certainly is, Mark. 2 Aug 03:59

Unrelated to Scottish football but just found out that Franco Baresi died. He was one of the greatest defenders of all time and is a legend for AC Milan. Remember watching him on Channel 4 Serie A in the 90s and he was a colossus in the 1994 World Cup Final (before missing in the shootout). RIP.

1 Aug 14:49

11,652 caps

Also, he was only 66 which is no age these days. 1 Aug 14:49

We also lost Kevin Keegan this year, too. 1 Aug 18:49

11,652 caps

Yeah was really sad to Lose Kevin too. He seemed a great guy. 2 Aug 03:51

11,652 caps

Shocking start for me. 2 wrong and looking like a third wrong too, lol. Tbf these are three hard games to call.

1 Aug 18:15

11,652 caps

Spoke too soon ha. 1 Aug 18:25

36,727 caps

When I last looked, Hearts were winning. 0/3 so far.😮🤣

It's been a volatile, unpredictable start on the predictor for the first two weeks and 12 games, but hopefully it will settle down.

For my personal performance, I am still encouraged. I feel I have underperformed, yet I am still top 20 percent in the world, 8.5 points where the global leader has about 17.5, and I have a 50 percent success rate and only two fewer correct outcomes than him (he has way more exacts, just using him as the benchmark). I also noticed that even where I backed a favourite, such as Rangers the first two weeks, I was far from entirely convinced and them dropping points (that happened) was something I knew was a risk. It's not like I thought they were guaranteed practically to win.

I still have faith in my reading of the games and hope the variance will settle down as the sample size increases and the weeks go on.
