    Crystal ball

    It's only three weeks in, some teams have made good starts, some bad: None of the teams outside Celtic will be consistent. They will have ups and downs. Leaving the lottery of the cups aside, my predictions are:
    1) Celtic will win the league.
    2) Hearts will survive, perhaps at Tynecastle, perhaps not, but will be relegated.
    3) Hibs will get new manager and finish mid-table.
    4) Judging on my early season betting record, all the above crystal ball gazing could be total crap!
    What's your take?

    Could be a pretty exciting season. Taking Celtic out of it theres probably three groups of teams.

    Very good, fighting for second:

    ICT
    St Johnstone
    Aberdeen

    Fighting for top 6:

    Motherwell
    Partick
    Dundee United
    Kilmarnock

    Relegation Battle:

    Hibs
    St Mirren
    Ross County
    Hearts



    I have feeling we'll get a new manager and move up the league a bit, but thats more or less what I expect to see. St Johnstone or Aberdeen to win one of the cups too, Celtic to get knocked out Champions League at group stages.

    Can't see us being in a 'relegation battle' that's for sure, mid table possibly

    Mid-table. Look at the team, this is not a relegation team. The lack of flair football and any sort of attacking prowess is fenlons main problem. If he deploys negative, "a draw will do" tactics next week then we will lose and end up in the bottom 6.

    I think we're a new manager and 2 players away from top 5. If we were organised and attacking, then we could do well. More performances like today from Handling could make him a big player for us

    Will we keep the crystal ball on the deck more, or still hoof it up the park?

    Exactly! been saying this on here for long enough now...and as for Fenlon..no way he should have been given the job in the first place...more waist of time and money again, and if we get rid of him now and bring in someone half decent then yes we can hopefully manage to get mid table!

    What's your take?
    1. Yeah, I think Celtic might just win the league.
    2. Hearts will survive and also avoid relegation. St Mirren will go down.
    3. Hibs will finish about 9th or 10th because we won't get rid of Fenlon.

    hibs finish in bottom 4 , but herts will definitely go down they have no chance of staying up they will probably have about another 4 points by middle of sept if there lucky.

    I think Killie could really struggle and will battle it out with the Yams to stay up

    A winger/creative player and a striker who can get in behind defences would be nice. Someone in the ilk of that anier guy who plays for Motherwell.

    Celtc to win the league and Ross County to go down. I see the top 6 being Celtc, ICT, Dons, Well, St J's and Utd. We will kinda be no good enough but no bad enough.
