I expect further progress from Aberdeen this season. At least third again, perhaps second and one of the cups. About time we had a decent cup run.

C'mon, 2nd just isn't going to happen...although you may win the "Aberdeen Cup"
We heard all this last season. We're still listening to that deafening silence. Shhhhhhhhh.

I think we could be in for a change in the balance of power in Scottish football - Celtic were horrendous in the last few months of last seaon (yes, the fact they already had the league in the bag might have had somrthing to do with that) but they have also just be beaten by Young Boys of Bern in a friendly 4-1. Walter Smith will improve Rangers but their squad is very average and this could be a just a 'honeymoon period' for Smith. I'm obviously hoping Aberdeen can build on the progress of last season but losing Russell Anderson is a massive blow for the club. Several months ago i thought Hibs would have a great season but it seems morale is not all that high in the Leith dressing room; still, John Collins has an excellent football philosphy so expect more good home form from them, despite the lose of some key players, most notably Brown. Lets hope the Hearts fiasco continues too! Dundee Utd should complete the top 6 next time.

Gretna will probably go as they will not be able to pay higher wages than their competitors in the Premier as they have through the leagues so far. If not it will be between ICT and St Mirren.
At the top Celtic are favs but Smith rallied Rangers well in the second half of last season so at least it should be more competitive.
After last years performances third place must be up for grabs. Watch out for Dundee Utd under Levein who is pretty shrewd but has not yet made any significant transfer moves that I know of. Hibs need to get their act together quickly and Hearts are likely to continue to be in turmoil. Aberdeen were found out at the back a few times in the second half of last season [particularly against Hibs and latterly v Rangers at Ibrox] and that was with Anderson.
Killy will again be fighting for sixth spot if they keep Naismith.
First Div. Saint Johnstone to pull the finger out and get above second this time ahead of Dundee and Dunfermline.

What was the last trophy won by Aberdeen exactly??
And how long ago did that happen?? In the last three years? Or seven? Or ten?
At the rate Rangers are going we're going to be called the "New Aberdeen" before too long
P.S. Gretna for the league

Gretna or ST Mirren will go down.
ST. Johnstone will come up but to go down again and meet Gretna and Dumfermiline will come up and go down and Gretna comes up.
(What will happen in a few seasons)

St Johnstone rule!
As far as the 1st division is concerned, any one from Dundee, Dunfermline and the Saints will win it although Morton might cause a few upsets.
Stirling and possibly Clyde to go down.

Celtic will win the league.
Gretna will stay up.
Rangers to get relegated
I do think that either Celtic or Rangers will beat Gretna by 10-0 at home. Probably Celtic. We'll be nice and just put nine past them
