With just over 3 weeks to go till the opening round of the Scottish Premier Football League season, and with The Rangers and St Johnstone and sons already chucking their passports in the bin, it's time to get to the nitty-gritty and look forward to a new season full of dodgy international trialists, inner city riots and a Celtic win assured by Christmas.

Teams


Name: Aberdeen FC
Fortress: Pittodrie Stadium (but not for much longer)
Star Talisman:

Expectations: They'll want to push Celtic to the title, if they are still in with a shout at Easter it'll be impressive, more realistically they'll be in with a shout at Easter road. Former Celt Gary Mackay Stevens, Celtic cast off recently joined but he's lost his blonde locks and Samson like will be relegated to the occasional stunner against Partick Thistle.


Name: Celtic FC
Fortress: Celtic Park, or is it Parkhead? gently caress it. Paradise
Star Talisman:

Expectations: They'll win the league without much hassle. Every chance they'll do it without losing a game again. Hopefully they'll also do no bad in Europe as well so we don't look like a right bunch of bastards. Don't be surprised if Dembele and Sinclair are shipped off for big money at some point this season.


Name: Dundee FC
Fortress: Dens Park, it's just down the road fae Tannadice don't you know, also not a long walk form Clerks bakers, purveyor of the fine "Helicopter Sandwich" basically a mixed breakfast roll on a bun. Also knew a guy on that street who sold Weed. Nice City.
Star Talisman:

Expectations: Dundee narrowly avoided being in a relegation scrap last year, they've got a very fresh faced manager in Neil Mccann at the helm, he's sort of Scotlands equivalent of Gary Lineker, your granny probably likes him. They've just signed Scott Allan from Celtic a man so arrogant that he left Dundee United after half a dozen games because being their highest earning player wasn't good enough. Canadian Marcus Haber is certainly a goal threat and young Cammy Kerr potentially has a bright future in front of him. Fact is they binned one of my mates when he was 18 and James McPake still plays for them so they are scum to me.


Name: Hamilton Academical. Aye right, the most Academical thing about Hamilton is the Tesco self service.
Fortress: New Douglas Park, Hamilton, South Lanarkshire (not Glasgow)
Star Talisman:

Expectations: Don't get relegated. Keep Martin Canning off the brew. And for that matter off the pitch.


Name: Hearts of Midlothian FC
Fortress: Tynecastle Stadium, Edinburgh. I've been once, it's really steep.
Star Talisman:

Expectations: I suppose they'll want to finish above Hibernian. Star man Kyle Lafferty seems to think they will anyway, Ian Cathro is the youngest manager in the league and the knives could come out for him pretty soon if it's a poor start. Their opening game of the season is against Celtic, a game star man Kyle Lafferty think could be the basis for Hearts to end Celtics unbeaten streak. Bit of a cocky oval office this Lafferty boy eh?


Name: Hibernian FC
Fortress: Easter Road, Edinburgh
Star Talisman:

Expectations: Be better than Hearts? They are newly promoted from the Championship for the first time in their illustriou....no wait sorry wrong club. Hibs didn't cheat, they just got a bit poo poo for a while. In fact if you listen to the folks round these parts they've always been a bit poo poo. I don't really mind Hibs, about the most notable thing about them is their inclusion in the Trainspotting books and films and also the time St Johnstone pumped them 5-1. My boss at the time was a Hibs fan, glorious stuff. Kenny Deucher scored for us mate. Not a footballer but an actual Doctor. Shame on yous. Still, Sunshine on Leith eh. Fuckin brilliant.


Name: Kilmarnock FC, Kilmarnock (not Ayr)
Fortress: Rugby Park. A loving loving name if ever there was one.
Star Talisman:

Expectations: Killie arn't ever really a threatening club, most likely they'll finish 8th-10th with no real danger of success or failure. Old friend of mine used to get irritated if you said he was from Kilmarnock and claimed he was actually from Ayr. Says it all.


Name: Motherwell FC (maybe Glasgow)
Fortress: Fir Park
Star Talisman:

Expectations: Wait what? Lasleys gone? You boys are shagged.


Name: Partick Thistle (not Glasgow)
Fortress: Firhill Stadium, Maryhill (not Glasgow)
Star Talisman:

Expectations: Partick Thistle arn't the worst team in the league by a long shot, they managed top six last season, the first time since they won promotion to the top flight in 2013-2014. Could be the best of the rest once the top 4 are sorted. Side note: I've only ever met one Partick fan in real life and he put 3 teabags in his cup. Strange place.


Name: Rangers FC
Fortress: Ibrox Stadium, Glasgow
Star Talisman:

Expectations: Well they'll firstly want to avoid getting pumped by Celtic. Then we can expect another Kenny Miller contract extension. After that I've no idea.


Name: Ross County FC
Fortress: Victoria Park, Dingwall, The Highlands
Star Talisman:

Expectations: If theres one thing that makes glad I'm not a Scottish professional Football player its the thought of dragging my arse up the A9 3 times a year to Dingwall. Talk about a cold tuesday night in Stoke. Dire


Name: St Johnstone FC
Fortress: McDiarmid Park, Perth. Fabulous Steak and Chorizo pies.
Star Talisman:

Expectations: May 17th, just let me keep dreaming of the good times! We've lost Swanson to Hibs, our star striker Steven Mclean is 35 and has poo poo knees, we've already had our visas chucked oot by a bunch of Lithuanian cabbage pickers. The St Johnstone golden generation might just be coming to a close.

Onwards and upwards lads, lets have the real season commence!

Oor Coohoolie.
Wait so do you support Dundee Utd or St Johnstone?

Anyway Aberdeen's hosed this season, unless we manage to pull off those signings floating about- Shaun Maloney and Louis Moult would be ace, what with Hayes and McGinn gone, and we desperately need some better quality at the back. I'm not optimistic because it's stewarty loving milne.

Time wasting allegedly?

Kari is still a good player. I don't feel good about the guys we lost but overall I think the signings are solid. It will be so, so difficult to replace Hayes' game changing ability.

Reminder that according to Palermo's on again off again owner, Kyle Lafferty is too much of a womanizer to live in loving Sicily.

Lafferty owns.

So the green brigade couldn't help themselves and made these banners for the linfield game



Both of which are IRA references. Celtic will get clowned by UEFA again , and in attempt to stave off a stand closure they've banned the Green Brigade for two games.

The 'Rodgers at work' banner is apparently similar to 'Sniper at work' signs the IRA would put up.

Love watching people argue that an elbow to the head from a Motherwell player is not a foul and instead the penalty was because of a Masonic conspiracy as well.
