Scottish Premiership 2019-20: special bets | top goalscorer | match betting tips

Leigh Griffiths is back and looks overpriced to be top scorer in this season's Ladbrokes Premiership.

The Celtic and Scotland striker missed a large chunk of last season due to depression, but insists he's returned better than ever.

Putting his off-field issues to one side, there's never been any doubt about his finishing abilities. He's practically guaranteed a minimum of 20 goals per season if he stays fit and looks better value than teammate Odsonne Edouard.

Rangers bad boy Alfredo Morelos should go close if he can avoid getting himself into trouble with the referees again, although it's not certain he will remain at Rangers all season.

Ross County's Billy McKay looks to have a chance of topping the scoring charts at outrageous odds.

McKay has recovered from injury and should bag the majority of County's goals. He has performed well on this stage in the past with Inverness and it's only two years ago that County's Liam Boyce won the Golden Boot.

Ross should also finish ahead of St Mirren in bet365's season match bet.

Saints look like they are going to need time to settle in under Jim Goodwin and County should hit the ground running after last season's Championship title win.

Newly-promoted teams often do well as Livingston proved last season and they boasted an outstanding home record, losing just once in the league at Dingwall last season.

Top and bottom-six finishes should be centred around a select group of teams including Motherwell, St Johnstone and Kilmarnock.

Killie could quite easily land outside the top six after the departure of Steve Clarke. Especially with the appointment of Angelo Alessio as his replacement already looking like a huge gamble following the European exit to Welsh minnows Connah's Quay.

With the Old Firm, Aberdeen and the two Edinburgh teams seemingly nailed on for five of the top six places, it leaves a vacancy for Motherwell to have a strong campaign.

Steve Robinson has a habit of plucking gems from the lower reaches of English football and there are plenty of decent youngsters coming through at Fir Park.

If excellent prospect David Turnbull recovers fully from a knee operation, Well can gatecrash the top six.

Livingston may struggle to repeat last year's heroics and look value to finish bottom.

Gary Holt inherited David Hopkin's team last season and comfortably escaped the drop. But that had a lot to do with the exploits of goalkeeper Liam Kelly and a back three of Craig Halkett, Declan Gallagher and Alan Lithgow. Only Lithgow remains at the club.

Goals could also be a problem for them and they look overpriced for automatic relegation.
