The Scottish Premier League campaign is now underway and champions Rangers are hoping to secure a fourth successive SPL title.

Andre Villas-Boas.

We’ve seen his name scattered across every sports news channel and website over the last fortnight after his big money move to Stamford Bridge from FC Porto, but who is his replacement at the Estadio do Dragao and how will the new manager even begin to improve on last season’s outstanding success?

As we watched the likes of Birmingham, Blackpool and West Ham drop out of England’s top tier of football and saw Manchester United lift the Premier League trophy, with the sides below competing for European places, it was easy to turn a blind eye to Sunderland’s alarming change in fortune at the tail end of last season.

The Black Cats finished the season in a credible tenth place, but it could have been so much better for Steve Bruce’s men if the majority of his squad had not fallen to the wayside with serious injuries heading into the important final months of the campaign.
