CIS Cup Finalists.

As long as they can hold on to Martin O`Neil, no-one can touch them. He has the ability to make players play for the shirt.
:
Once they get rid of their present manager then maybe they would stand a shot at the championship.
He fields players to justify their cost rather than the ones that want to play for the shirt.
:
I have to think that Dundee are thinking farther ahead than the rest of the pack and are moulding a serious side to challenge the old firm. The loss of Claudio is perhaps the best thing that could have happened, it opens a spot for someone who is not thinking of leaving but thinking of playing.
:
I think Hibs have most players from last year who saw them through a winning streak before they finally caved in, with the addition of some young blood they will still be a force.
:
The Tangerines have a cycle of three bad years and then an upsurge, this is the year where they will be better and will upset a few pools coupons. No depth but finally they are weeding out the players who just did not cut it.
:
This is my surprise 6th place finish as I think there is serious money backing these guys and I look to see a couple of experienced premier players joining the ranks. By October not many teams will look forward to playing away against them.
:
New management and a strong support will lift the Jam Tarts to some memorable victories but unfortunately not consistent enough.
:
The luckiest club over the last few years to still be in the top league will finally get the monkey off their back and will start winning at home. W ill also have a good run in cup competitions if the draw favours home games.
:
This will be a younger team and will finally start to entertain their fans, not enough strength to be consistent but will be in a game until the final whistle.
:
Lousy management has been the downfall of this team the last two seasons, at first so much potential but now they will just spiral towards mediocrity and possible relegation the next season unless there is a complete upheaval from the board room to the dressing room.
:
A complete lack of interest in this team rubs on to the players and it will be curtains for them, I see only a couple of home victories for this once proud team and maybe the one away win against Dunfermline.
A team that on there day can give any of the others a good game but unfortunately the other teams have added while the Pars have stayed the same therefore a weaker outfit who are doomed to relegation and sadly not about to return for a long, long time.
Aberdeen 1 Dundee 1 ( Dundee win on penalties with Sara getting the decisive kick)
