Ladbrokes (the SPFL’s main sponsor) are now offering a tempting 7/1 for Rangers to win next season’s SPL at the first time of asking.
Joint second favourites with Aberdeen, and naturally Celtic being favourites (1/4), the price is a very enticing punt for those who believe Mark Warburton’s men are capable of not only challenging at the very top of the SPL next season, but outright winning the Premier League title at the first time of asking following promotion.
With Derek McInnes’ men having a stellar season (8 wins of 8 and top of the table by a clear five points) they are more than worthy of being second favourites for next season, but it is the potentially promoted Rangers who are now up there alongside them as second favourites to take the SPL crown next season.
It is a testament to the impact Mark Warburton has had at Ibrox, and the inevitable resources he will have at his disposal next season (should Rangers achieve promotion) that the league sponsors now have his Rangers machine as one of the outright title favourites.
