Glasgow Rangers and Aberdeen are expected to challenge Celtic for the Scottish Premiership title this season.

Popular bookmakers SkyBET have released odds on who will win the Scottish Premiership, and because Celtic are so heavily favoured to top the lot, the Hoops are not even involved in the listings.

Brendan Rodgers’ men ran away with last season’s Scottish Premiership title, with a return of 106 points from 38 games, 30 points clear of Aberdeen in second place, and a further nine points ahead of third placed Rangers.

It will perhaps come as somewhat as a surprise then to see SkyBET’s odds on who will win the league title this season, without Celtic involved.

Pedro Caixinha’s Gers side are favourites at 4/6 with the popular bookies, ahead of Derek McInnes’ Aberdeen, who are listed at evens.

Rangers kick off their league campaign tomorrow with a trip to Fir Park to take on Motherwell, whilst the Dons welcome Hamilton Academicals to Pittodrie later on the same day.

And both sides will be determined to get off to a flying start, especially with the Hoops romping to a 4-1 win over Hearts to begin their 2017/18 campaign today.
