Rangers predicted to narrowly miss out on title milestone as Celtic given 1 per cent chance of Ten in a Row

Rangers have been tipped to win the Premiership title by 18 points as Celtic have been given a one per cent chance of Ten in a Row.

FiveThirtyEight's supercomputer has predicted how the season will pan out and they believe Steven Gerrard's side will maintain their wide margin at the top.

They reckon the Ibrox side will finish on 99 points by the end of the campaign, just one point shy of the 100 mark and Celtic will finish 18 points behind their rivals on 81 points in second spot.

The gap at the top is currently 18 points after Celtic's 4-0 over St Mirren on Thursday, although they do have a game in hand.

Neil Lennon clawed back two points at the weekend as Rangers drew 1-1 at Hamilton, but it's difficult to envisage them overhauling the deficit.

And that has been reflected in this set of results as the Light Blues have been given a 99 per cent chance of going on and finishing the job.

Hibs have been tipped to beat Aberdeen to third place as Livingston and St Mirren make up the top six, with Ross County getting relegated on goal difference.
