The bottom half of the league table gives an early feel of who is likely to compete against relegation this season. Newco have moved two points clear of the relegation playoff spot and are surely likely to consolidate their midtable position. Aberdeen are bottom, with five defeats in seven games, but a 4-0 routing of Dundee last time out saw their first win of the league campaign. Expect them to climb up the table.
That leaves Livingston, Falkirk and Dundee all on six points and likely relegation candidates. The latter will do well to take a point against Celtic on Sunday.
Steven Pressley was out of management for six years before getting the Dens Park job in the summer. League Cup defeats to Airdrie and Alloa in his first two games, which saw Dundee eliminated from the competition, put the pressure on, before a draw at Ibrox delivered their first point of the Premiership season.
A 97th minute penalty at home to Livingston produced their only win of the campaign so far. Even then, Livi enjoyed the majority of possession and the home side putting men behind the ball and relying on counter attacks. That’s quite a gameplan at home to a newly promoted minnow.
Brendan Rodgers will know to expect the same defensive approach on Sunday and will hope the 3-2 win over Motherwell last time out has greased the blunt attacking wheels enough to cope against a side short on just about everything.
