The new replica shirts are bought, the season tickets are saved in the digital wallet, and pre-season is complete. The Scottish Premiership is finally back, with the opening weekend now less than 48 hours away.
Can Celtic continue their dominance of the top flight? Or is the 2025/26 season the one where Rangers roar back under their new American owners? Could Hibs break the Old Firm’s grip on the top two after last season’s outstanding campaign, or will Derek McInnes restore Hearts to former glories? There’s so much to discuss, and even more to look forward to.
It was Daizen Maeda that took all the individual honours last season, such as the SWFA player of the season award, though Rangers’ Cyriel Dessers was the winner of league’s top goalscorer award with 18-goals. But who will be the player that takes the Golden Boot come the end of the new campaign? Here are the 20 players tipped to be the 25/26 Scottish Premiership's top scorer come May*.

16. Hamza Igamane (Rangers) - 8/10
Will he still be a Rangers player by the end of the transfer window? Heavily linked with a move to Lille, the Moroccan is a solid bet to be the league's top marksman- if he remains at Ibrox. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
