Celtic are desperate to achieve 10 in a row for the first time in Scottish history (both Celtic and Rangers have done 9 in a row). Rangers will know they will be heroes forever if they can stop them. That should be a fascinating battle as both teams are equally desperate to achieve their goals. If football was played on paper, Celtic would win, but we all know it is not. Elsewhere, it will be interesting to see if the other teams pick up more points against the Old Firm now there are no fans at games. For half the teams in the league, they have fewer 'home' fans than the Celtic/Rangers support bring with them to games and losing that may affect the Old Firm. If you are a gambler and you want to make a few quid, St Mirren should be a team who over achieve and gate crash the top six (don't come looking for me if you lose your money though ).

How about you put £20 on St Mirren for both of us and if they achieve something I'll give you £10 then we split the winnings Its needs the likes of Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs, and the Dundee clubs etc to improve Scottish football as outside the big two it's so hard for outsiders to take an interest as some of the small clubs aren't as big as team season in our national leagues.

The lack of television money is what has really hammered Scottish football, like it has all the 'small' leagues around Europe. Sadly, gone are the days when the likes of Aberdeen, Dundee United, AZ Alkmaar, Gothenburg etc would be making major European finals. If the SPL/Championship sides were dropped into the English set up with all the financial advantages etc, Rangers and Celtic would be challenging for the title within a few seasons, Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs would be capable of being lower Prem or Top Championship teams, Dundee and Dundee United would be between lower championship and top of League One. The rest would fall between League One and the National League. As for St Mirren, I'll get back to you when I know the odds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
