Would settle for a big improvement from us and a 2nd place finish quite a bit ahead of 3rd and not too far behind them.

We need a decent year so that we can have a summer where we just need to improve rather than rebuild the entire squad as we have done for about the last 7 years.

Would love to finish 1st, but they would need to have a stinker of a year and we would have to play out our skins. Just cant see it.

I honestly think that would be a rip-roaring success for a brand new manager, practically brand new first XI and how little we've spent. I don't say that in a defeatist way. Right now I want us to focus solely on winning it, and I do see that being possible if everything falls into place, but that scenario you gave would make me happy to keep Stevie G in the job and build on it for next season.

bottom 6 voters ?

Fight for second with Aberdeen and Hibs.

 

3/4 more signings and we’ll be in a far better position..

[jjbscotty12 3,560]

2nd with the likes of morelos windass murphy & candeias  starting games.

[LochendBilly 8,413]

First and a trophy...…..Optimistic Loyal but probably a dreamer ?

Early days but watching the first two competitive games with the season ahead in mind , i still don’t see that team stringing a long spl winning run together ,they’ll struggle at the usual away haunts and probs drop a few points at home to , I still don’t see the heart ,desire ,fight aggressiveness or mentality in this team  , we’ve all said beat the rest of the shite  and we’ll stay right on there tails , with only a loan player from Roma and a lad a small team in France is willing to let go on loan to come in so far ,I think it’s going to be another long one for the bears , desperately need a few signings that resembles the finished article for once ,brought in as our own players for fees

We have to see how the squad looks once the transfer window is closed.

If we went with the current squad as is, I would expect 2nd as we still lack that extra quality going forward.

[Falcoholic 1,348]

I was looking forward to the new season with Steven Gerrard at the helm. After what i've seen so far maybe not so much.

3rd again and we'll go again next season

[TMB 14,167]

Second.  celtic have better player assets and an established manager.  If we can win consistently against the rest we'll put together a good points total and that's what we should expect.  If we can be more competitive in the Old Firm games and hopefully win one that would be huge bonus.  If we can get to the group stages of the Europa that would be a huge positives for the fans so fingers crossed on that front.

[Boyd9her 307]

I was more optimistic last 2 seasons

[King Jela 20,361]

Impossible to tell right now. We badly need some reinforcements if finishing close to the taigs is even possible, never mind the sheep. 

[StirlingBear72 476]

Second and a leagur cup win at best with the players we have available. We'll suffer a few draws/losses at Ibrox again struggling to break down packed defences.

So many bears accept this nowadays .Our standards are at an all time low 

Even when we were pish in the early 80s 

Not winning the league was unacceptable 

Football was a different sport in those days unfortunately.

We have to build the team up gradually to become a real force again. If we can't get a solid defence built up of our own players this year, then improve the midfield / attack next year, then I see this as the time we can really challenge.

The biggest bonus that could happen for us would be for them to stop qualifying for the CL. The money they get from that makes it quite easy for them to stay ahead of us unfortunately. If they fail to get this, then debt will start to mount up and they will have to start selling their better players and shopping more in our market.

The transfer market is fucked at the minute, we just cannot bring in the standard of player we used to as they are just not affordable now.

My personal goal would be to stop them getting 10. If we don't do that, then it's a failure.

Before that, it's just a case of improving until we get that title win.

Not accepting anything other than first is just "Uber fan" talk imo.

 fuck off! 

[big blue Fin 3,724]

If we don't bring in an attacking threat and a goalscorer third or worse.

Top of course

a lad a second division team in France is willing to let go on loan

Angers are in Ligue 1.

[scottyc06 6,915]

Optimistic loyal!! 

[gers31 246]

2nd or 3rd if we don't get more in and depending on injurys can't go into a new season with only morelos and a loan striker 

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,137]

Showing so far, I’d say 3rd but that could change.

[bluenoz 30,835]

They are stronger than us up front and that will be the difference. My heart will always say first but 2nd and a Scottish cup would be a good year.

[Amac9 2,060]

Second. Just.

[plumbGER 24,518]

5th behind Kilmarnock, Sheep, beggars and Hearts.

[Inigo 32,526]

Comfortable 2nd.

Much guess work involved though.

[plumbGER 24,518]

We will have fans celebrating when we beat Hibs to 5th on the last day of the season.
