Matthew Lindsay

Champions: Celtic. Brendan Rodgers may only have signed Scott Bain and Odsonne Edouard this summer but he had significant strength in depth anyway and will doubtless make a couple of quality additions before the close of the transfer window. They should win their eighth title comfortably.

Second place: Rangers. If just a third of the new players Steven Gerrard has signed come good the Ibrox club should pip Aberdeen into second spot.

Scottish Cup winners: Celtic. The Parkhead club always finish strongly.

Betfred Cup winners: Rangers. James Tavernier and his team mates will fancy their chances of riding the wave of euphoria surrounding the Govan club to lift their first piece of major silverware in seven years.

Who goes furthest in Europe? Celtic. The Parkhead club will be looking to do better than they have in continental competition in the last two seasons.

Player of the Season: Olivier Ntcham. The central midfielder blew hot and cold last season. But he is older and more experienced now and has added consistency to his game.

One to watch: Glenn Middleton. Steven Gerrard has clearly taken a shine to the young winger since taking over at Rangers. May struggle for game time. But his manager seems keen to give youth a chance.

Relegated: Hamilton Academical. Kenny Miller will do well to keep Livingston up in the coming months. But I don’t think Hamilton will be able to survive in the top flight having lost Ali Crawford, Mikey Devlin, Greg Docherty and Lewis Ferguson.

Promoted: Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Wishful thinking? Perhaps. But the Highland club have made good progress and John Robertson and will take confidence from their Irn Bru Cup win last season.

Random story of the season: Will Hamilton being sponsored by a cannabis oil company be topped? Probably!

Neil Cameron

Champions: Celtic. It would be sheer madness to go for any other team. Even if they stumble they can throw money about in January. A triple-treble might be asking a bit much, especially if they get into the Champions League.

Runners-up: Hearts. I have had it in my mind all summer that they are going to have a great season. Remind me when Rangers finish 20 points ahead.

Scottish Cup: Celtic. See above.

BetFred Cup: Hearts. All eyes are on Steven Gerrard but don’t under-estimate Craig Levein. Also, Neil Lennon will have his eyes on a trophy.

Relegated: Hamilton/Livingston. Sorry, Kenny Miller, but I just can’t see anything but a 12th place finish. Hamilton will struggle but stay up.

Promoted: Ross County. They have better players and a bigger budget than anyone else. It’s that simple.

Who goes furthest in Europe? Let’s hope all three. Odds are stacked in Celtic’s favour because of how the system works but I honestly think all three will get through their next round.

Player of the season: Callum McGregor (Celtic). He ended the season as Celtic’s best player and has looks really sharp so far. A superb talent.

One to watch: Lewis Ferguson (Aberdeen). The overhead kick at Burnley is the just the start. Could he be the best Ferguson yet?

Random story: Kenny Miller signs for Rangers as player/manager as Livingston are 15 ahead of Rangers by Christmas. Or Gerrard puts on his boots again. Now that would be brilliant.

Stewart Fisher

Champions: Celtic. A 30-point gap at the top was cut to just nine last season but the Parkhead side should still have too much quality for everyone else.

Second place: Rangers. Big task for a rookie manager, but Steven Gerrard appears to have added quality and organisation.

Scottish Cup: Rangers. Celtic were susceptible to a few shock defeats in the league last season. The law of averages suggests one could crop up in the cup competitions.

BetFred Cup: Celtic: The big teams only need to win four matches to claim this competition and the Parkhead side will always take some stopping.

Relegated: Livingston. Shocked the world last year but can they keep their identity under new management.

Promoted: Dunfermline. The bookmakers will give you 10-1 on the fifth favourites but this is a wide open division and the side which strolled it in the BetFred Cup could provide a shock.

Who goes furthest in Europe: Celtic make the Champions League group stages, but fall short of a last 16 place. Rangers reach the Europa League group stages – which might not help them too much domestically - but Hibs fall short against Molde.

Player of the season: Odsonne Edouard. The young Frenchman has a bit of magic in his boots. He could score a barrowload this term.

One to watch: Harry Cochrane. Still just 17, took his first steps into the Hearts team last season but Craig Levein would love settled production this time around.

Random story of the season: Continuing their cross-border experimentation, the SPFL introduce women’s lacrosse teams from continental Europe into the Irn Bru Cup. Steve Clarke continues to make Kilmarnock into a powerhouse.

Alison McConnell

Champions: Celtic. Can’t see anyone strong enough to stop Brendan Rodgers’ side as they go for eight-in-a-row.

Second place: Rangers. Early indications are that Steven Gerrard’s additions have enhanced the squad of the Ibrox side and it will be interesting to see just where they are at over the course of the season.

Scottish Cup winners: Celtic. Suspect the Parkhead side will maintain their grip of the domestic landscape.

Betfred Cup winners: Rangers. Gerrard will be under pressure to deliver some kind of silverware in his inaugural campaign in charge.

Who goes furthest in Europe: Celtic. Think they have the experience now of competing on a two-pronged domestic and European front. The bulk of their players have been over the course before and understand the step up when it comes to European football.

Player of the season: Kieran Tierney. Has rarely been without a personal award since breaking into Celtic’s first-team under Ronny Deila.

Young player of the season: Depends how much exposure he gets this term and whether or not he heads out on loan but Mikey Johnston looks ready to make an impact this season.

Randon story: Before a ball has been kicked there’s been a cannabis oil firm sponsoring a Premier League surface and a decapitated pigeon stealing headlines. Who knows what quirks await in the next ten months.

Relegated: Hamilton Accies. The perennial tip to go down and envisage that they will be involved in a scrap.

Promoted: Not the easiest of leagues to get out of but think Partick Thistle could come back up again.
