Predicted Championship Finishing Positions 2025-2026


Recommended Posts

Let's all predict how the league table will look at the end of this season. None of this namby-pamby nonsense about waiting to see who signs who and has what budget etc. Just go for it now and see how silly or sensible it looks in May 2026. I will kick things off, although I do have a problem, as I cannot predict against Thistle. It seems to me like being disloyal or making a self-fulfilling prophecy. I am sure that other posters will not have such hang ups. Here we go:

1. Partick Thistle

2. Ross County

3. St Johnstone

4. Raith Rovers

5. Ayr United

6. Dunfermline

7. Airdrie

8. Morton

9. Arbroath

10. Queen's Park

1. Ross County

2. St Johnstone

3. Raith Rovers

4. Ayr United

5. Partick Thistle

6. Dunfermline

7. Airdrie

8. Morton

I think this is pretty realistic

Unfortunately I think the general view of us failing to reach a playoff spot is reasonable and I’m sure the board will be relieved if that’s the general expectation throughout the support.
The only way I can see us doing better is if Wilson/Baraclough turn out to be particularly successful in recruiting fresh but relatively inexpensive talent in the next few weeks, and Wilson can blend them and some youth quickly. I’m already writing off the new season as a rebuilding one and anything other than that will be a bonus (excluding fighting off the bottom two places of course).

With a number of unknowns,Morton seem to be uncertain about finances, the 2 relegated teams sticking with their current managers and as already mentioned squads still to be completed i will go with the following.

Dunfermline

St. Johnstone

Ross County

Partick Thistle

Raith Rovers

Ayr Utd

Airdrie

Morton

Queens Park

Arbroath

Many thanks for all responses so far. Looks like bad news for Queens Park. Quite a few people have bought into the Neil Lennon hype. I am perhaps a little more sceptical about that. He does not appear to have lasted long anywhere for a while. Initial boldness, enthusiasm and energy seem to dissipate quickly.

The predictions remind me of 2 seasons ago when financial challenges were revealed, and many were thinking that we would do well to survive in the division. In the end we were a fairly comfortable 3rd. The season immediately past had us tagged as among the favourites from the outset, and the club fed rather than downplaying that narrative with the league-winning budget comments. The team did not handle that pressure well in the early stages of the season.

Perhaps a low-key low expectation approach will suit us better. Of course I have not helped by predicting us winning the league!

1 Dunfermline 

2 Raith

3 Ayr

(or some variation of this top 3, but this is where I'm landing)

4 St Johnstone

5 Thistle

(or less likely, Thistle 4th, St J 5th)

6 Arbroath 

7 Ross County

8 Airdrie 

(again I think these 3, from 6th to 8th, will be much of a muchness)

9 Morton 

10 Queens Park

When your team's board is relieved that the fanbase doesn't expect anything from the team, things must be pretty bad!

Re the Neil Lennon hype. I am predicting that Dunfermline will do well after they get rid of him around November/December time

I think we will finish 4th.  Ross County will get the usual injection of dosh at Xmas from their sugar daddy, and St Johnstone will grind out wins and draws.  Raith Rovers and Thistle will compete for 3rd/4th.  I am basing our 4th place on Wilson's apparent greater willingness to change things around both during and between games.  It is also based on us having a more attacking and attack minded midfield.  If we persist with the midfield sideways shuffle, gates will fall and we will finish a skint 8th.
