Before a ball was kicked this season, Kris Boyd and Chris Sutton predicted where every Scottish Premiership club would finish come May.

As things stand, Celtic lead Rangers in the title race, Hearts are in pole position to seal third, while Livingston look destined for relegation unless results improve.

So, is that what the Sky Sports duo thought would happen? Well, they have been reflecting on those picks and analysing the season so far…

Chris Sutton: I think both of us think Livingston have had it. It seems to be a season too far. They've always outperformed where we think they should be. They've overachieved for a number of years. This season is catching up with them.

I still think St Johnstone are in a relegation battle. I didn't have high hopes. I had them down in 10th. There has been a slight improvement. The change of manager has maybe got them going.

I had gone for Dundee [to be relegated] because of the turmoil they were in at the start of the season. Tony Docherty has pleasantly surprised me. He's made a lot of good transfers and I got them horribly wrong. There's a long way to go but their recruitment has been key.

Kris Boyd: You always say, when a team comes up from the Championship, consolidate your top-flight status. Dundee are way on their way to doing that.
