Well they are,as good as, as there are only 2 teams in the league.....everyone else are merely 'pacesetters' and be miles off. Struggle to see Rangers getting as close as last season.

They're being a bit quick off the mark there. Give it until Christmas, then look at it again. Yes; Rangers were pretty ordinary yesterday, but they didn't lose. Celtic did what they had to do today, but let's be honest; Kilmarnock were pretty woeful. The first old firm game (in 4 weeks' time, will give a clearer picture.
They do this quite often, admittedly not usually this soon, and it’s nothing more than a calculated publicity stunt.

Pish talk. Killie were away in Europe on Thursday night, playing with half their defence out either injured or suspended at the league champions who've been flying in pre season.
Doubt many (if any) league 1 teams would have fared any better.

If (IF) Killie get past Tromsø, it's most likely FC Copenhagen in the playoff round (or Banik Ostrava). Bye bye Europe!
St Mirren landed much more favourably again, FC Astana or a team I've never heard of from Romania for them. Real possibility of St Mirren reaching the group stages with the draws.
Hearts vs Viktoria Plzen or another team I've never heard of.

Booked up for the Hearts match
Plzen finished well behind Sparta and Slavia but they did have a decent Euro run. It was Plzen draw against Fiorentina that put Czech league above the Scottish league in coefficient table
Hopefully you get Ostrava, I’ve got links to them, decent wee away trip for you. And I wouldn’t write of Astana, once watched them walk all over Legia in Warszawa.

Just saw Astana's league position in Kazakhstan and assumed they're shite these days, know they used to pop about the Europa league scene.
Ostrava aren't mugs but Copenhagen should have too much for them I would think.
Dynamo Kiev are 6/5 on Bet365 to beat Rangers at ‘Home’. Obviously I’m not going to back them but if I was a neutral I’d be all over that
In recent years at least one Scottish team have been embarrassed in early European games. I have a feeling it’s Rangers time. Kiev knocked 9 past Partizan Belgrade in the previous round!!

St. Johnstone are the only professional club in Britain with a J in their name.

Well; after tonight, it's pretty obvious that the Dons are going to win the league. The old firm? Pfft. Hearts? Behave. No; it's clearly Aberdeen's to lose. Plus; their way kit is yellow and black stripes!
