AFTER 30,000 SIMULATIONS, SUPERCOMPUTER PREDICTS 2025/26 SCOTTISH PREMIERSHIP
A supercomputer running 30,000 simulations of the 2025/26 Scottish Premiership has produced a detailed projection of how the season could unfold, revealing drama, tension, and unpredictability at every level of the table. By analysing team form, squad depth, fixture difficulty, and recent results, the model suggests that even small variations in performance could have major consequences for clubs across the league.
From relegation battles to the race for Europe, and ultimately the title, every match is predicted to carry weight, ensuring a season that could go down to the final week.
Bottom of the Table: St. Mirren and Dundee Face Survival Struggles
10. St. Mirren – Played 26 | Wins 5 | Draws 8 | Losses 13 | Points 23 | GF 21 GA 37 GD -16 | Last 5: Draw, Draw, Win, Loss, Loss
St. Mirren are projected to fight a difficult campaign at the foot of the table. Defensive lapses and inconsistent performances have made every point hard-earned. Their fate may well come down to crucial matches against fellow relegation candidates. Survival will depend on maintaining composure in tight encounters and avoiding costly late concessions.
9. Dundee – Played 26 | Wins 6 | Draws 6 | Losses 14 | Points 24 | GF 21 GA 40 GD -19 | Last 5: Loss, Loss, Draw, Loss, Draw
Dundee have struggled to find consistency this season. While capable of scoring and taking points from mid-table opposition, they have been unable to string together wins at key moments. The simulations suggest they will remain perilously close to the relegation zone, needing to convert draws into victories to secure safety.
8. Aberdeen – Played 25 | Wins 8 | Draws 4 | Losses 13 | Points 28 | GF 26 GA 35 GD -9 | Last 5: Loss, Loss, Win, Loss, Loss
Aberdeen, historically a strong contender for European qualification, have had a season of unpredictability. The model predicts extended winless runs, particularly in away fixtures, leaving them much lower than expected. While capable of moments of brilliance, inconsistency has hampered the Dons’ ability to challenge in the upper half.
7. Dundee United – Played 25 | Wins 6 | Draws 10 | Losses 9 | Points 28 | GF 33 GA 42 GD -9 | Last 5: Loss, Loss, Loss, Loss, Win
Dundee United’s season has been marked by a mix of attacking promise and defensive vulnerabilities. They have struggled to maintain momentum, especially in tight matches, and the simulations show them finishing in the lower half despite occasional flashes of quality.
Mid-Table: Stability Without Breakthroughs
6. Falkirk – Played 27 | Wins 11 | Draws 6 | Losses 10 | Points 39 | GF 32 GA 35 GD -3 | Last 5: Win, Loss, Win, Win, Loss
Falkirk have delivered an inconsistent but competitive campaign. They are capable of winning against mid-table opposition, but lapses in crucial matches have prevented them from climbing higher. The team’s challenge will be converting competitiveness into consistent results to push for a top-five finish.
5. Hibernian – Played 27 | Wins 11 | Draws 9 | Losses 7 | Points 42 | GF 43 GA 31 GD +12 | Last 5: Loss, Draw, Win, Loss, Win
Hibernian’s season has been steady yet unspectacular. A healthy goal tally demonstrates attacking capability, but too many draws have hindered progress. They are predicted to finish comfortably mid-table, reflecting solid organisation but leaving them just outside the European conversation.
4. Motherwell – Played 26 | Wins 12 | Draws 11 | Losses 3 | Points 47 | GF 40 GA 18 GD +22 | Last 5: Draw, Win, Win, Draw, Win
Motherwell have impressed with their balanced approach. Efficient attack and solid defence allow them to regularly secure points, particularly against mid-table rivals. A top-four finish looks achievable, positioning them as one of the league’s most consistent outfits.
Top Three: Heart-Stopping Title Race
3. Celtic – Played 26 | Wins 17 | Draws 3 | Losses 6 | Points 54 | GF 48 GA 26 GD +22 | Last 5: Win, Draw, Win, Win, Win
Celtic, under interim manager Martin O’Neil, are projected to finish third. The simulations show a team with tactical discipline and the ability to recover from setbacks. While their depth and experience keep them competitive, a few untimely draws and losses have left them just short of challenging for the crown.
2. Hearts – Played 27 | Wins 17 | Draws 6 | Losses 4 | Points 57 | GF 50 GA 24 GD +26 | Last 5: Draw, Win, Loss, Win, Loss
Hearts have enjoyed a remarkable season, with strong home form and consistent performances against mid- and lower-table sides keeping them in contention for the title. According to the simulations, they narrowly miss out on topping the league, but their campaign confirms their status as serious challengers.
1. Rangers – Played 27 | Wins 15 | Draws 10 | Losses 2 | Points 55 | GF 47 GA 21 GD +26 | Last 5: Win, Draw, Win, Draw, Win
Rangers are projected to reclaim the Premiership crown. Resilience, tactical astuteness, and squad depth are highlighted as key factors in maintaining steady form.
The simulations show them performing in crucial fixtures and capitalising on rivals’ minor lapses, giving them the edge to secure the title in a season where margins at the top are razor-thin.
A Season Packed with Drama
The 2025/26 Scottish Premiership promises tension from bottom to top. Relegation battles, mid-table surprises, and a narrow title race ensure that every match matters.
From St. Mirren and Dundee fighting to survive, Aberdeen’s uncharacteristic struggles, Hibernian’s mid-table consistency, and Motherwell’s reliable campaign, to Hearts pushing Rangers and Celtic in a thrilling three-way battle, every tier of the league has stories to tell.
With the final weeks approaching, fans across Scotland are bracing for a dramatic conclusion, one that combines tradition, tactical ingenuity, and unexpected twists hallmarks of Scottish football at its finest.
