After the weekend results where Hearts were held to a 1-1 draw away to Motherwell and Celtic beat the Rangers 3-1 at Celtic Park, the Supercomputer that’s been predicting a Hears title win since October has now flipped to back Martin O’Neill’s men to be celebrating with the trophy come Saturday afternoon…
Celtic must beat Motherwell on Wednesday night then Hearts at Paradise on Saturday to be guaranteed another Scottish Premiership title triumph. That would be five in a row (that’s halfway to the ten for any lurking Bears) and a 14th title in 15 seasons, the most remarkable run by any club in the history of Scottish football.
Supercomputer predicts Celtic to win the title
AceOdds’ supercomputer, BETSiE, has run its algorithm to generate the 2025-26 Scottish Premiership title and relegation predictions.
The model simulated the league season 100,000 times, taking into account all match results from pre-season and the current campaign. It projects outcomes based on pre-season expectations, fixture difficulty, and underlying performance metrics such as xG for and against.
This season, BETSiE also integrates team financial data and player values from Transfermarkt, adding a deeper layer of insight into squad strength and potential performance variations.
Based on these simulations, here are the key highlights after the latest round of SPFL fixtures.Â
- Celtic are predicted to win the Scottish Premiership
- BETSiE gives Celtic a 61.4% chance of winning the league
- Hearts are given a 38.6% of winning the title
We don’t need the Supercomputer to tell us that the Rangers now have zero percent chance of winning anything this season as Martin O’Neill completed a remarkable personal record against the latest Ibrox club at Celtic Park yesterday afternoon.
Martin O’Neill ended Danny Rohl’s trophy chances in both cups and the leagueÂ
Martin O’Neill got the better of Danny Rohl in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final back in November. He then went to Ibrox in March to knock Rohl’s side out of the Scottish Cup, making that two trophies that weren’t heading to Ibrox.
Martin O’Neill completed his own personal trebleÂ
Yesterday O’Neill completed his own personal treble by formally ending the Rangers chances of winning the Scottish Premiership and to add a cherry to the top of that delicious cake he also consigned the Ibrox Rohl-over merchants to a third place finish meaning that they miss out on the Champions League play-offs and will therefore play in either the Europa League of the Conference league play-offs depending on how the Scottish Cup Final pans out.
And the irony is that the Rangers need Celtic to do them a favour by beating Dunfermline in the Hampden final, as only that will get the Rangers into the Europa League play-offs.
the Rangers went into the split as title favouritesÂ
It’s quite remarkable really as going into the split the Rangers were actually the bookies favourites to win the title. However that have lost all three of their post split games against Motherwell at Ibrox, Hearts at Tynecastle and Celtic yesterday at Celtic Park. They now have two dead rubbers against Hibs and Falkirk before they go off for another summer of wounds licking.
