Celtic have started the 2026/2027 campaign with a spring in their step, leading the table after four games thanks to a healthy goal difference of +9.

Motherwell are not far behind, sitting third with 8 points and matching ST Mirren's goal difference of +4, suggesting the battle for European places will be closely contested. Dundee and Rangers are also in the mix, separated by just a point and a narrow goal difference margin, while Hearts and Hibernian sit mid-table with six points each, both having played fewer games.
At the other end, Kilmarnock have yet to find their footing, languishing at the bottom without a point and a goal difference of -10. Falkirk and Aberdeen are also struggling to climb out of the relegation zone, highlighting the early-season challenges they face. With a 12-point spread from top to bottom, the Premiership is showing its usual blend of tight competition and early-season quirks.

Nygren, who have both contributed two goals apiece, while Dundee’s J. Westley is matching the same tally.
