Well Livvy won the league but their SPL stint will be a short one. The've nicked all the best players from the other first division sides but it wont be enough. Look out for a Falkirk resurgence next season - with our young side learning all the time im sure we have a great chance.
Rory, Scotland It's got to be Thistle. With Hardie and McLean scoring freely, who can stop us? Stranraer will come up, then go down. QOS and Forfar will drop, and struggle to get back up.
All I can say is I hope Dundee come down, and Livvy better win the League.
I think no one will catch Livingston now but I think their life in the SPL will be short-lived. Alloa and Morton will go down, Airdrie will surprise everyone as long as the deal is done with Archibald.
I think Livingston will probably win the league, but only as they have been given a huge injection of cash to buy the better players, it should be interesting to see if they can compete in the Premier. As for the relegation battle, I think Airdrie will probably just about survive with Morton and Alloa going down.
Stephen Gardner , Scotland
Livingston are simply buying the league while others fight for survival. If any of the other clubs in the division had the resources of Livingston then the lead at the top would be greater.
I think that Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Livinston will both get promoted but Caley will not go up due to their stadium. As a Caley fan, I have to say that Ross County will get relegated
Falkirk will win the league - it will be interesting to see how the promotion goes.
Keep up the good work lads and show everyone that money is not necessarily going to guarantee success on the pitch.
Robbie, Scotland My tip for the first division is Ayr United. They have purchased some really good players in the summer and it's just a matter of time before they click together. Pat McGinlay is a terrific singing as is James Grady. The dark horses? I think Morton will do well and at least get a place in the top four.
Livingston finished higher last year than anyone still in the First Division this year. I have no doubt that they will continue their good run and win the promotion. Only a couple of teams, Falkirk and Raith are good enough to stop them this year, with teams like Ayr, Ross County, Caley, Morton and Airdrie fighting it out for relegation.
Steven Kane, Scotland, Glasgow
I think that Raith Rovers will be relegated this season after the loss of such key players as Dider Agathe and Craig Dargo. They really do look to be in quite a bad way. My prediction for the title would have to be Falkirk as they were very strong last season and looked capable of handling themselves in the top flight.
I think Ayr will be too strong over the season. Our players have been there before and although our start has not been great, they will come good and lead from the front.
Hopefully Inverness Caley Thistle can build a stadium to ensure SPL status, but this at present doesn't look to be likely. The playing squad on the whole are a decent standard, on par with Livingston, but not at present with the top half of the SPL. ICT need money to spend on players and a stadium. They have the fans and a manager which are the best in Scotland, so it's only the money and some top players they need.
Ayr should win, but after their league cup debacle at Dumbarton I have my doubts. If we get it together quickly then we will run away with it. Livingston's management team will cost them the title.
