Celtic are 2/5 favourites to win a ninth successive title. Their Old Firm rivals Rangers finished nine points adrift last season but improved on previous finishes.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Punters clearly think it’ll be all change in Scotland this year and a Rangers title win could prove costly to bookies.”

Rangers last won the top flight in 2011, and will be looking to end Celtic's dominance in Scottish football. The Hoops have won back to back trebles in the last two seasons.
