Iain Laird, gives his Verdict on the clubs and players to look out for in 2001/02.

Iain Laird, Brampton, Ontario, Canada, NADSC.

Hi Robert, these are my predictions for next season as I surely can't do any worse than Jim White.

Celtic:-
It will be much closer next season, but they will just pip it over Rangers.

Rangers:-
There is no real shape to them after losing their Midfield and they can't make up their minds on who their best attacking pair are.

Hearts:-
They don't have Jim Jefferies holding them back anymore.

Dundee:-
Ivano succesfully completes stage two, which was getting us into the UEFA cup. Fourth place also leaves room for progress next year to achieve the third year goal of being the countries 3rd best team.

Hibs:-
No Russel Lapaty and so no flair.

Aberdeen:-
Young players are getting better.

Killie:-
Old players are getting worse.

Dundee Utd:-
As much as I hate them, they won't get relegated, but are not top 6 material.

Livingstone:-
Will be a breath of fresh air.

Motherwell:-
No outstanding players and no money to get any.

St.Johnstone:-
Absolutely boring, don't entertain but they will survive in front of even smaller crowds.

Dunfermline:-
Proved they weren't top six material by not winning a game against all the bottom six duds. They will get even worse next season.
