The Scottish Premiership, the top tier of Scottish football, is known for its competitive yet often predictable nature, dominated historically by two clubs: Celtic and Rangers. These "Old Firm" rivals have a storied rivalry, with both clubs regularly competing for the title and drawing the majority of attention in the league. Celtic, based in Glasgow, has been the more dominant force in recent years, securing numerous league titles. Rangers, who spent several years in the lower divisions after a financial crisis in the early 2010s, have returned to the top-flight and remain a serious challenger for domestic glory.

Beyond the top two, other clubs such as Aberdeen, Hibernian, and Hearts regularly aim to challenge for European spots, but they typically find themselves outclassed by the financial and squad depth of the Glasgow giants. The league, while less internationally recognized than top European leagues, remains passionate and fiercely contested, with the fan culture playing a significant role in shaping the Scottish football experience. In addition to the league, Scottish clubs also compete in the Scottish Cup and the League Cup, providing further opportunities for clubs to achieve silverware and for smaller teams to create upsets against the giants.
