In the most unfamiliar of seasons in the Scottish Premiership, there were familiar scene comes the end of the 2026/27 campaign as Celtic somehow got their hands on a fifth successive title.
Martin O'Neill's side had looked down and out in their attempt to land a record 56th crown, but a sensational end to the term, which saw them win their final seven matches, ultimately proved decisive as they pipped Hearts to the post in the most dramatic fashion imaginable.
A point at Parkhead would have been enough for Derek McInnes' men to secure Hearts their first league crown in 66 years, but despite Lawrence Shankland firing them into a first-half lead, Celtic turned the game on its head to seal yet another title win.
There was perhaps an element of surprise when Celtic announced that 74-year-old O'Neill had signed a one-year contract that will run until the end of the 2026/27 campaign, but he did revive the winning blueprint in Glasgow last term and he'll be desperate to add a record extending 57th Scottish Premiership title this term.
The Bhoys are odds-on favourites to add to their illustrious list of honours after commencing their season with a 1-0 win over Dundee.
Danny Rohl oversaw a drastic improvement at Rangers upon his Ibrox appointment last campaign, but he had his head turned by RB Salzburg in the summer, resulting in the Teddy Bears appointing former Hearts manager Derek McInnes.
McInnes came antagonisingly close to ending the Jam Tarts' top-flight drought in the 2025/26 term, and with greater financial backing and a superior squad at Ibrox, he'll hope that his Rangers side can dethrone their Old Firm rivals and regain the bragging rights in Glasgow.
While Hearts are shorter than the 25/1 price that they were in the lead up to the 2025/26 Scottish Premiership campaign, they're still viewed as outsiders to win the league at 14/1.
