There is still more than half the season to play – with the Premiership title still up for grabs.
But with Celtic and Rangers both out of Europe for the season, minds are already starting to turn to next season – and who the Glasgow giants might face.
We’ve told you how the Scottish Premiership will almost certainly retain both of their Champions League spots (one automatic, in the third qualifying round) next season.
This is despite one of the poorest campaigns in recent times.
And now the Swiss football data The Twitter account looked at the current standings across all of Europe’s top leagues – and all their coefficients – to calculate the draws and pots for next season’s competition.
There are a lot of caveats here, of course.
The margin in some leagues is well below the nine points separating leaders Celtic from Rangers, for example.
But the current state of the game holds some exciting news for both Old Firm sides – with Rangers having a one in three chance of being on a collision course again with Belgian side Union St Gilloise on first demand.
With Gers under new boss Michael Beale hoping to overhaul Celtic and book an automatic berth, for now their qualifying swaps look fraught with difficulty.
Although Gers will be seeded, as things stand they will face Union St Gilloise, Sturm Graz or AEK Athens in the third round.

St Gilloise have surprised many teams in the Europa League this year, where they have won their group and already have a place in the last 16 in the bag.
Then, if Rangers are successful, things get even tougher – with potentially another tough showdown with Ajax in the play-offs or Champions League conquerors Celtic Shakhtar Donetsk – who are both higher ranked.
As for the Hoops, if things stay the same – and especially all the seeded teams go through to qualifying – the Hoops will still be in the seeded pot 4 for the Champions League group stages.
But as little as a team showing up unexpectedly to claim their national title could change all that.
And things wouldn’t be any easier for the Hoops this time around, with players like AC Milan still lurking in the third seeding groups and Real Madrid – who trail Barcelona in La Liga – only in the SECOND jar.
An apocalyptic group would be something like Manchester City, Real Madrid, FC Salzburg, Celtic.
A more manageable section would be something like Feyenoord, Shakhtar Donestsk, Young Boys, Celtic.
It’s the last year before the number of teams taking part in the competition drops from 32 to 36, meaning there will now be 189 matches instead of 125.
From 2024, the group stage will be replaced by a league stage – otherwise known as the “Swiss model”.
