Meanwhile, McBookie make Hamilton 8-13 favourites for the Championship following last week’s results and bookies are praying they can go on and lift the title and save them a £1million payout. If Dundee manage to win the league it will mean all four Scottish titles have been won by the pre-season ante-post favourites.

Paul Petrie, McBookie.com spokesman, said: “Celtic and Rangers were certainties but punters also couldn’t see past Dundee and Peterhead. The fourfold was the most popular pre-season bet and if Dundee win the league it will cost the industry millions. Hamilton will certainly have a few new supporters if they can snatch the title.”

McBookie are offering 33-1 Rangers win the Premiership title within three years – as laid out by the board in their review published yesterday.

Petrie added: “The board have stuck their necks on the line with these predictions but we just can’t see them chieving it. Celtic will have three more years picking up Champions League money and can pull further and further away.”
