Celtic tipped to sink Rangers in title thriller as our writers make their big predictions for the new season

There's nothing quite like the excitement of a new season and we're just hours away from league action returning in Scottish football. The new Premiership season, plus the Champonship, League One and League Two are all back this weekend and it promises to be a campaign to remember.

In the top-flight, Celtic and Rangers are set to battle it out for the title once more with both teams gearing up for the challenge across busy summer transfer windows. But it's not just about who finishes top of the pile, with a fascinating races for European spots ready to commence as Aberdeen look to bounce back from a dismal 2021/22 campaign and challenge Hearts for third spot.

And, of course, there's the prospect of a gripping fight for survival at the opposite end of the table, with the likes of St Johnstone hoping that's a scrap they can avoid being dragged into again after last season's narrow play-off escape. There's also knockout silverwae to be had with both the Premier Sports Cup and Scottish Cup up for grabs over the next 10 months.

We love a prediction here at Record Sport and our writers have put their necks on the line by making all the big calls for the campaign to come. Here's how they see it all unfolding...
