Scottish Premiership
William Hill Scottish Premiership relegation odds
With the William Hill Scottish Premiership title race looking a two-horse race between Celtic and Hearts, the relegation fight looks as competitive as ever.
Currently, Aberdeen sit rock bottom, with just four points from seven matches.
Just above them is Dundee, in the 11th spot, the second relegation playoff position, with six points from eight games.
Also in danger are Falkirk, Livingston, and Aberdeen’s immediate neighbours in the standings, who all have around six points each.
So far, only Aberdeen seems in dire straits, but the margin is thin and momentum matters.
Let’s look closer at the main teams in this survival fight.

Aberdeen
A club steeped in history and success; Aberdeen’s current predicament is deeply concerning for supporters.
With just one win and one draw from seven games, the Dons have looked fragile at the back and largely toothless in attack. Their goal difference makes for grim reading, and the sense of momentum has firmly turned against them.
Unless form improves quickly, relegation will move from a distant threat to a very real possibility.
Given the club’s stature and expectations, every upcoming match, particularly those at Pittodrie, now feels like a must-win.
Dundee
In 11th place, Dundee find themselves living dangerously close to the drop zone.
They will not want to rely on the playoff to preserve their top-flight status, but with a tricky run of fixtures ahead, the challenge is as much psychological as tactical.
Performances have been inconsistent, and confidence can quickly erode when points are scarce. To avoid being dragged further into the mire, Dundee will need to turn draws into wins and rediscover their cutting edge in front of goal.
Falkirk and Livingston
Both Falkirk and Livingston sit on six points, just a few shy of safety, but their respective paths to survival look very different.
For newly promoted Falkirk, the jump in quality has been punishing at times. Early-season inconsistencies have cost them valuable points, and adapting to the relentless pace of Premiership football remains their biggest challenge. Livingston, meanwhile, continue to rely on their trademark defensive resilience, but they must find greater attacking fluency if they’re to pull clear. In a relegation scrap, one or two poor runs can prove fatal, and both sides will be desperate to avoid being caught in that spiral.
Rangers
Few could have imagined Rangers being mentioned in the same breath as a relegation fight, yet their recent slump has made that once-unthinkable scenario impossible to ignore.
Poor form, dressing-room uncertainty, and the sacking of Russell Martin after only a few months in charge have summed up a chaotic start. Disjointed performances, dropped points against lower opposition, and growing frustration among fans have combined to create a crisis of confidence at Ibrox.
The next managerial appointment is pivotal. Whoever takes the helm faces the enormous task of steadying the ship, restoring belief, and reigniting the authority that has long defined Rangers’ identity.
Get it right, and Rangers can climb back toward mid-table stability. Get it wrong, and the unthinkable – a genuine relegation battle – could soon become a haunting reality.
