How to Bet on the Scottish Premiership
The Scottish Premiership is back—and it's one of the most intense leagues in European football.
Twelve clubs. Thirty-eight matchdays. A split-season format that adds late drama.
Every week? A full slate of betting angles.
Whether you're watching Celtic storm the top or tracking a surprise climb from St. Mirren, Bet365 has you covered.
🏴️ What is the Scottish Premiership?
It’s Scotland’s top-tier football league. Twelve teams compete across 33 rounds.
After that, the league splits into two groups of six.
The top half fights for the title and European spots. The bottom half fights to avoid the drop.
Each club plays five more games within its group, totaling 38 matches.
⚔️ The Big Clubs
- Celtic
- Rangers
- Hearts
- Hibernian
- Aberdeen
Celtic and Rangers dominate headlines. The Old Firm derby? Massive.
But don’t overlook the rest. Mid-table battles and relegation fights are wide open.
