Scottish Premiership Outright Odds & Betting

The Scottish Premiership continues to serve as the pinnacle of football in Scotland, boasting a passionate fanbase, truly historic rivalries, and usually a fiercely contested title race. The 2025/26 season is already generating a buzz, with Celtic looking to extend their dominance and Rangers desperate to respond after another season of being second-best. 

At BetVictor, punters can take advantage of a wide array of Scottish Premiership outright markets, with options available before the first ball of the season is kicked and updated as the drama unfolds week by week. 

What Are Scottish Premiership Outright Betting Markets? 

Outright betting markets offer long-term wagers on season-wide outcomes, like who wins the title, who finishes in the European places, who tops the scoring charts, and which clubs are relegated. These markets remain open throughout most of the season, providing fresh value along the way. 

Outright Winners  

This classic market allows you to back the team you believe will be crowned Scottish Premiership champions. Celtic, having secured their fourth consecutive title in 2024/25, are clear favourites again. However, Rangers will look to bounce back, and clubs like Hearts and Hibernian hope to close the gap. 

At the time of writing, Celtic are odds-on favourites to make it five titles in a row, with Rangers trailing behind them. Hearts are next in the betting but are rank outsiders. 

Each Way 

An each-way bet splits your stake between two outcomes, one backing the club to win the title outright, the other backing them to finish in a specified place (usually top 2). This is a smart market for backing clubs like Rangers or Hearts, especially if you feel they'll push Celtic close. 

Place Bets 

Place markets allow you to wager on clubs finishing in key positions – top four, top six, or top half. These are ideal if you fancy mid-table clubs like Hibernian to overperform and clinch a European place. 

Relegation Bets 

The relegation system in the Scottish Premiership sees the team that finishes 12th automatically relegated to the Scottish Championship. The 11th-placed team enters a playoff against a Championship side to retain their Premiership status. 

With newly promoted sides like Livingstone entering the fold for 2025/26, and some clubs like Falkirk having smaller squads to work with, it will make relegation markets competitive this season. 

Top Scorer 

Betting on the Scottish Premiership's top scorer can often offer great value. In 2024/25, Rangers forward Cyriel Dessers won the Golden Boot with 18 goals, edging out Simon Murray and Daizen Maeda, of Dundee and Celtic, respectively, who scored 16 goals each. 

With it likely to be all change at the top of the pitch of many teams this summer, the top goalscorer market will be wide open. Maeda and Adam Idah, both of Celtic, are early favourites. 

Scottish Premiership Recent Winners & Key Stats 

Celtic's dominance in recent seasons continued in 2024/25, as Brendan Rodgers guided the Hoops to their 55th top-flight title. They emphatically secured the championship and will be eager to continue in the same manner in 2025/26.

Who Are the Favourites to Win the Scottish Premiership in 2025/26? 

Celtic 

Having lifted four straight Premiership titles, Celtic enter the new season as firm favourites once again. Brendan Rodgers has built a side with depth, balance, and attacking flair. He has quality players in all departments, and additions this summer will only strengthen their hold on the league. They're the team to beat in everyone's eyes. 

Rangers 

After finishing second to Celtic in 2024/25, a new era has dawned at Ibrox. Russell Martin has arrived as the club's new manager, and he's tasked with closing the gap to Celtic. The moves he's made in the transfer market are evidence that he's got the backing of the hierarchy. And it will be interesting to see if Martin deploys his possession-heavy style and how much that enables them to challenge their Old Firm rivals. 

Hearts & Hibernian 

Hearts are third-favourites to win the league, and will be looking to have another strong campaign. They continue to recruit well and will be aiming to secure European football while staying in touch with the likely top two of Celtic and Rangers. 

Meanwhile, Hibernian will have been slightly disappointed with how things panned out last season, and are, therefore, long shots to challenge at the top. However, they're still a good shout for the top six. 

The Chasing Pack 

The reality is, the chasing pack will all be doing their best to finish in the top half as a priority. The likes of Dundee United and Aberdeen will see themselves as having a chance to do well, but they'll be realistic and know what's achievable for them and what is not. 

The promoted clubs like Falkirk and Livingston are naturally seen as the favourites to be relegated, with an uphill battle expected.
