2018/2019 Scottish Premiership Winners Already Paid Out
The Scottish Premiership may have only just kicked off for the 2018/2019 season, but Paddy Power has already paid out on Celtic being the champions of Scotland…
…In a bold move by the Irish bookmaker, punters who placed a wager on Celtic to be crowned this season’s champions, have scooped their winnings after just one game in the eagerly-awaited season. But why? Paddy Power assumes that the two teams who could come within touching distance of Celtic are Rangers and Aberdeen, the two teams who played against each other on the weekend and drew.
New Rangers Manager
Ex-Liverpool captain and mid-fielder, Steven Gerrard, was announced the new manager of the Rangers at the end of the 2017/2018 season, but despite his professionalism on the field, he couldn’t get his team to perform against Aberdeen, after a last-minute equaliser denied him a winning start to the Scottish Premiership…
As a result of this Paddy Power paid out, which would mean Brendan Roger’s side lifting the champions trophy: this would be for the eighth season in succession.
A spokesperson for the company commented; “One game into the Scottish league season and Steven Gerrard has already slipped up. On the face of it, a draw with Aberdeen isn’t a bad result, and we’re sure Stevie G will emphasise the positives of that display, but we do also think the title race is done. It’s only one game into the season, but Celtic’s lead already looks unassailable.”
