Alan Stubbs makes bold Scottish Premiership Prediction

I spoke with a reporter maybe three or four weeks ago and they asked me for my predictions for how I think the season will go. I don’t see anything other than a Celtic victory to be honest. (the)Rangers have had a huge rebuild this summer, the best part bringing in nine players. They’ve obviously let go of quite a few players, but I still think they will bring in at least a couple more players before the window closes.

Trying to bed those players who have come from afar, whether it’s America, Europe or the Championship, is not easy. Whereas I know there’s been a big shift at Celtic with Ange Postecoglou going and Brendan coming in, but it’s been more of a seamless change over at Celtic. Brendan knows the role and knows the club. He’s got a winning squad straight away to walk into, which he’s just going to implement his ideas into, which might be slightly different to Postecoglou’s.

I still think Celtic will be in the market for maybe another two or three players. I can see Celtic bringing in a couple of big name signings. Whereas (the)Rangers now are on the back foot already. I don’t think anyone expected them to lose at Kilmarnock even though it was a tricky game. I didn’t think there were going to be any slip-ups for Celtic against Ross County at home, so it proved even though they didn’t start the game very well, unlike Ross Country who could’ve easily found themselves one or two goals up early on. I think the only way to describe it is normal service resumed.

I can see Celtic winning the league by ten to fifteen points, I really can. Even at this stage, I think there is going to be a lot of pressure on Michael Beale and this (the)Rangers team now.
