Scottish Premiership 2025/26 – Predictions & Best Bets
As evidenced by the latest outright odds, leading bookmakers think Celtic will be tough to stop in their quest to win the title for the fifth consecutive year.
Given the prohibitive nature of their current odds to win the league, today’s football prediction has been designed to be a little more ambitious.
Celtic narrowly missed out on the treble last season after losing the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen following a penalty shoot-out.
Odds of 6/1 to win the Scottish Premiership, Scottish League Cup and Scottish FA Cup represent decent value and should deliver a winning return to punters.
Despite the European distractions, the Big Two often mop up the betting predictions. Therefore, it’s worth experimenting with the ‘without Celtic and Rangers’ market, which offers up a tempting betting proposition with Hearts strongly fancied to be best of the rest this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion owner Tony Bloom recently acquired a 29 percent stake in the club and has funded a summer spending spree in the transfer market.
He has backed manager Derek McInnes to break the Glasgow duo’s dominance in the Scottish Premiership and the early signs have been promising.
“I truly believe in the squad that has been assembled and I've got every faith in Derek's ability to get the best out of them and to improve them,” Bloom said (h/t the BBC). “We've got a very good chance of at least being second this season.
"I understand there will be a lot of Celtic and Rangers fans, maybe Aberdeen and Hibs fans, who will be laughing and saying 'I've heard it all before' and that's fine, I'm just saying it as I see it.
"I'm not saying we're going to win trophies this season, that season, next season, but I genuinely believe that we will be a significant factor in Scottish football right here, right now and for the long term."
At the other end of the table, Falkirk have plenty of appeal at odds of 7/2 to finish bottom of the standings at the end of the campaign.
Falkirk’s inexperienced squad is unfamiliar with the Scottish Premiership and they lack the defensive depth needed to keep themselves afloat.
The 3-1 defeat at fellow new-boys Livingston on the opening weekend highlighted that it could be a tough campaign for John McGlynn’s side.
Dundee are the favourites in this market, but showed they could have been underestimated by the bookies with a fine 1-1 draw at Rangers last weekend.
They have finished sixth and tenth since returning to the top flight and should have enough know-how to finish ahead of Falkirk this season.
