Twenty of the previous 26 Scottish top-flight titles have been gained by Celtic, the opposite six going the best way of Rangers.
Within the 2000s (beginning with season 2000-01, when the highest flight moved from 10 to 12 groups and with a break up after three rounds of fixtures), the typical factors tally for the champions has been 91.65.
That features the unfinished 2019-20 season, which was shortened due to Covid and selected factors common.
There are 4 outliers. In season 2001-02 (O’Neill’s second of his first spell) and 2016-17, champions Celtic exceeded 100 factors and Rangers emulated that in season 2020-21.
On the different finish of the size, Celtic gained the league in 2013 and completed with 79 factors – the one event within the 2000s when the champions have completed with fewer than 80 factors.
The vary of factors tallies for champions for the remaining 21 campaigns stands at 80-99.
On 16 events, the champions have had greater than 90 factors, 13 instances within the 90s.
Wanting particularly on the 2020s, the typical factors tally of champions has been 93.5.
Due to this fact, it’s probably this season’s champions will end with greater than 90 factors within the 91-94 vary.
Provided that champions have registered a mean of three.5 defeats within the 2000s, a workforce that wins 30, attracts 4 and loses 4 could be very effectively positioned to win the league.
