Scottish Premiership title odds: Old Firm set for two-horse race

Celtic may not be firing on all cylinders but their odds of winning a sixth successive Scottish Premiership title have been trimmed to 8/11 with BOYLE Sports following this weekend’s action. Rangers , four points behind with a game in hand due to their cup exploits, are again the Hoops’ nearest challengers in what is increasingly looking like another two-horse title race.

Hearts came agonisingly close to ending the Old Firm duopoly last season but the Jambos are well off the pace this term, as are most of the division’s other big clubs. Here, we take a closer look at the leading contenders in the 2026-27 Scottish Premiership title odds .

Celtic

Celtic @ 8/11

The Hoops are chasing a 15th Premiership title in 16 years but have rarely looked as vulnerable as they do now. Martin O’Neill’s men have lost six of their last 12 matches in all competitions and were far from impressive in scraping past rock-bottom Kilmarnock 1-0 at home on Sunday. Nevertheless, they remain clear at the top of the table and their list of prospective challengers grows weaker by the match.

Rangers

Rangers @ 11/10

Rangers are the only side to finish above Celtic in the last 15 years and that sole title success came back in 2021. However, the Gers look more than capable of ending that barren spell this season, recovering from a poor start under new boss Derek McInnes to win 12 of their last 15 matches, losing just once and keeping nine clean sheets. Two of those wins came against Celtic and the Ibrox men would be just one point behind their arch rivals if they win their game in hand.

*Odds are correct at the time of writing, but subject to change.

Celtic are the 8/11 favourites for the title ahead of Rangers (11/10) and Hearts (33/1).

Hearts

Hearts @ 33/1

Hearts missed out on their first title since 1960 last season in heartbreaking fashion, losing to Celtic on the final day when a draw would have been enough, but a repeat challenge this time around already looks improbable. They had started the weekend on 16/1 but have plummeted to 33/1 after being thumped 5-2 at home by Falkirk . That was Hearts’ first home league defeat in 18 months and saw Wouter Vrancken’s injury-hit side drop to fourth, 11 points off Celtic .

Falkirk

Falkirk @ 250/1

While Celtic and Rangers have long dominated the Scottish football scene, the battle to be ‘best of the rest’ has been hotly contested by the likes of Aberdeen , Hearts and Hibernian . There is a new face in the mix this season, though, with Falkirk having climbed to third on the back of a five-game winning streak, including victories over Celtic and Hearts . The Bairns have never been Scottish champions, and only finished runners-up twice, but their odds to win the 2026-27 title have been slashed from 500/1 to 250/1 following Saturday’s Tynecastle trouncing, and could continue to tumble.
