Clubs have already been busy in the transfer market as some embark on a squad overhaul, while for others it is about tweaking. Only Dundee United have not made a signing so far.
Plenty of business is still to take place across the next four weeks with seven of the top-flight clubs involved in the Premier Sports Cup with five other having qualified for European action with only Motherwell and Rangers playing a tie before the league season starts.
BonusCodeBets have, using a range of informative outright odds markets, forecast how the Premiership will look come the end of the season in May.

. Celtic
8/13 to win the league. Ange Postecoglou will be looking to lead his team to a title defence. They will have plenty of focus on the Champions League group stages with six games between September and November. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
. Rangers
5/4 to win the league. Rangers will be looking to bounce back from losing the league last season. This is Giovannni van Bronckhorst’s first full season in charge and they have added John Souttar to the squad. Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group
. Hearts
4/11 to finish in the top six. Robbie Neilson’s men finished third at a canter and will have extra games to contend with as they play eight times in Europe in the space of three and a bit months. The club have already been busy in the transfer market to strengthen the squad. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
9. St Johnstone
4/11 to finish bottom six. It was a traumatic season for the Perth Saints last campaign. Not only did they lose their two best players on transfer deadline day in the summer but they were involved in a lengthy relegation battle and survived through the Premiership play-offs. Callum Davidson will have to replace Callum Hendry, Zander Clark and Shaun Rooney. Photo: SNS Group Craig Watson
10. Kilmarnock
1/4 to finish bottom six. Killie are back in the top-flight after a season in the Championship. Derek McInnes has added players with experience of Scotland, including the return of Alan Power to Rugby Park. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
11. St Mirren
6/4 to finish bottom. The Buddies recovered towards the end of the season after a difficult run when Stephen Robinson took over from Jim Goodwin. Robinson has tapped into his contacts to put his own stamp on the team, including bringing in players he has worked with previously. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
12. Ross County
5/4 to finish bottom. The Staggies were one of the surprise packages last season, finishing in the top six under Malky Mackay. They have lost Regan Charles-Cook, Joseph Hungbo and Blair Spittal. They look like they have struck a coup with the addition of Yan Dhanda, however. Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group
