Do you think Celtic will still be undefeated going into the Premier Sports Cup final with Rangers?
ANDY NEWPORT:Celtic have proved they can churn out wins regardless of whether they are at their free flowing best or not. That looks ominous for the rest of their rivals.
SCOTT BURNS: You would expect Celtic to have too much for Hibs, who have improved in recent games. You would also back them to come from Dinamo Zagreb with at least a draw so I can see Celtic heading to Hampden on a high.
SCOTT McDERMOTT: Yes. Celtic will take care of Hibs at Parkhead, even if Brendan Rodgers decides to rest a few of his big guns in the league. That will tee them up for taking at least a point in Croatia which should edge them closer to qualifying for the knock-out phase.
Do you expect Rangers to overtake Aberdeen now or can the Dons still fend them off?
ANDY: Gers’ six-goal thumping of Killie was a big step in the right direction for Philippe Clement but the story of the Ibrox outfit’s season has been inconsistency. It’s far too soon to be certain of anything.
SCOTT B: I can see Aberdeen going on another run again. The Dons still have the advantage although Rangers are churning out the wins. This is the one fight in the Premiership that could go the distance.
SCOTT McD: In time, you have to think Aberdeen will slip back into third place – which would be a terrific finish for them come next May. Their main focus has to be ensuring they’re best of the rest as most Dons fans would have bitten your hand off for that in the summer.
Who do you think will finish top scorer at the end of the Premiership campaign?
ANDY: Celtic are still the most dangerous side in the country so you expect one of their marksmen to take the golden boot. Kyogo is only behind the leading scorers and will be there or thereabouts come May.
SCOTT B: There is nobody really running away with it like Lawrence Shankland did last season. Celtic’s Kyogo Furuhashi will fancy his chances and will be there or thereabouts. I think Dessers and Kevin Nisbet could also be up there.
SCOTT McD: For a sitting midfielder McGregor has done brilliantly to put himself up there. Cerny has looked the part as well and will get more goals from Rangers’ right flank. But by the end of the season I’d still expect Kyogo and Adam Idah to lead the way given Celtic’s domestic dominance.
Do you think Kilmarnock could be in for a relegation fight?
ANDY: Killie look nothing like the solid outfit they were last term. They are badly missing Stuart Findlay’s presence at the back with the centre back out until March. Finding a replacement in January could be key for McInnes’ team.
SCOTT B: The issue this season is that there doesn’t look to be a team that is going to be caught adrift. So every team in the lower regions has to be looking worryingly over their shoulders. Kilmarnock will be no different.
SCOTT McD: No. It has definitely been a toil for them so far but there have been mitigating factors like Europe and a ridiculous amount of red cards. With McInnes’ experience and know-how he’ll get them back on track and climbing the table again.
