The 2026-27 Scottish Premiership campaign gets underway on Friday July 31st and it will take some effort to top the excitement of last season.The final-day showdown between Celtic and Hearts brought a dramatic ending, with the Bhoys ultimately clinching a fifth consecutive league title.Since then, there has been plenty of activity in Scotland’s top flight and Rangers in particular will hope that brings a change in fortunes.talkSPORT BET – Score up to £30 in free bets – CLAIM HERE*Outright Winner – Rangers @ 5/4Having finished third last season, the Rangers board decided to make changes both in the manager’s hot-seat and the playing staff.Derek McInnes almost led Hearts to a shock title success, but then decided to leave Tynecastle in order to take the reins at Ibrox.McInnes has been well backed in the transfer market, with the ex-Aberdeen boss bringing Lawrence Shankland and Cammy Devlin with him from Hearts.Rangers have also strengthened with moves from south of the border, with Sunderland midfielder Dan Neil and Hull goalkeeper Ivor Pandur also heading to Glasgow.Former Everton defender Ben Godfrey has also joined on loan from Atalanta, while Belgium Under-21 international Tuur Rommens offers another option at full-back.In contrast, Celtic have had a relatively quiet summer in the transfer market, with just two new arrivals to date.The Hoops have signed two strikers before the new season, with Danish international Kasper Hogh and Qarabag forward Camilo Duran moving to Parkhead.Martin O’Neill has lost two of his key players from last season’s title success, with Daizen Maeda and Kelechi Iheanacho joining Ipswich and Bursaspor respectively.Hearts’ squad has been decimated after last term’s title bid and may struggle to finish the best of the rest behind the Old Firm.Motherwell (5/4 for a top-six finish) look to be a team on the up, as long as their new manager, Alfred Johansson, can keep them on the right path.Under Jens Berthel Askou, Well finished fourth last season and lost just three home games all campaign – the same number as both Celtic and Rangers.To Finish Bottom – Falkirk @ 9/2One of the stories of last season was Falkirk finishing in the top half having only been promoted from the Championship 12 months earlier.It was such an impressive achievement, it’s led to speculation over the future of their manager John McGlynn.The 64-year-old has been heavily linked with the vacant Scotland manager role, following Steve Clarke’s decision to step down after the World Cup.McGlynn insists there has been no contact from the Scottish FA, but it does leave a cloud hanging over the Falkirk Stadium going into the new season.The Bairns will fear ‘second-season syndrome’, especially having already been knocked out of the League Cup following defeats to Ayr United and Alloa Athletic in the group format.Falkirk have also lost several key players during the close season, including forward Barney Stewart and midfielder Dylan Tait.talkSPORT BET – Score up to £30 in free bets – CLAIM HERE*Odds correct at time of publish and subject to change.Remember to gamble responsiblyA responsible gambler is someone who:Establishes time and monetary limits before playingOnly gambles with money they can afford to loseNever chase their lossesDoesn’t gamble if they’re upset, angry or depressedGamCare – www.gamcare.org.ukGamble Aware – www.gambleaware.orgFor help with a gambling problem, call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 or go to www.gamstop.co.uk to be excluded from all UK-regulated gambling websites.Commercial content notice: Taking one of the bookmaker offers featured in this article may result in a payment to talkSPORT. 18+.
