Scottish Premiership winner odds for 2026/27 make Celtic the 1/3 favourites, but last season proved the title race is no longer a two-horse procession.
Brendan Rodgers’ successors at the summit had to work for the 2025/26 title. Celtic finished on 82 points, just two clear of a Hearts side who led the table deep into the campaign and pushed the champions all the way. Rangers ended third on 72, a distant eight points further back.
The season is under way, and the early exchanges have already moved the market sharply in Celtic favour.

Celtic
Celtic got over the line again, but a two-point winning margin was their narrowest in years and the manner of it will encourage the chasing pack. Their 26 wins and 73 goals still led the division, and at 1/3 the bookmakers expect the champions to remain the team to beat.
Hearts
Hearts were the story of the season. They topped the table at the split, finished second on 80 points and boasted the league’s best defence, conceding just 34 goals. The question now is whether they can sustain a challenge over another 38 games, and a drift to 14/1 suggests the market has already answered that question.
Rangers
Rangers finishing third, eight points behind Hearts, tells its own story. Only six defeats all season shows the raw quality remains, but 12 draws killed their challenge. At 5/2, the market still rates them the most likely side to dethrone Celtic, which puts pressure on a fast start.
Elsewhere
Motherwell (fourth) and Hibernian (fifth) claimed the remaining top-six spots alongside first-season top-flight side Falkirk. At the bottom, Livingston were relegated after a miserable two-win campaign, with St Johnstone coming up from the Championship to replace them.
