Bookies Are Already Offering Odds On Rangers Winning The Premiership Next Season

Rangers fans have been blown away by their start to the season after new manager Mark Warburton led the club to seven straight wins in his first seven competitive league matches.

And after a season of turmoil on and off the pitch last season, Gers fans could be forgiven for getting a little bit carried away with their new, swashbuckling, exciting side.

But, it appears that supporters of the Ibrox club aren’t the only ones get slightly ahead of themselves.

Indeed, Mark Warburton’s men may still be in the Scottish Championship but they are now 7/1 joint-second favourites to win the 2016/17 Scottish Premiership, with league sponsors Ladbrokes.

Current Scottish Premiership leaders Aberdeen, who boast a 100% league record of eight wins from eight, are also 7/1 second-favourites to win the 2016/17 Scottish Premiership season, while Celtic are priced at odds of 1/4.

So, despite the hard work of Derek McInnes and Aberdeen over several seasons, Rangers are already valued as likely to win next season’s top-flight title as this season’s in-form leaders, despite not even being in the same division.

What do you make of the odds? Are they fair enough, or a bit fanciful?
