"Partick Thistle manager Dick Campbell suffered relegation from Division One last season and previews the forthcoming campaign for BBC Sport.
"Dundee start as favourites because they are coming down from the SPL, but I cannot see much between them, St Johnstone, St Mirren and Hamilton.
"There is a big difference between part-time and full-time football.
"So I see relegation being between Queen of the South, Stranraer and Brechin with maybe also Clyde and Airdrie.
Sandy Stewart has had his budget cut severely and he has lost a bit of quality with Marvyn Wilson going to Hamilton.
In light of that, Sandy will probably be happy if his side finish in mid-table and not in relegation trouble.
Brechin are a stronger side this time than they were when they came straight back down a couple of seasons ago.
We lost 11 games by 1-0 and my brother, Ian, will have learned from that experience.
I don't see many 20 goals a season strikers around in Division One, which can make all the difference.
But, in Steve Hampshire, Graham Gibson and Paul Ritchie, Ian has a strikeforce to match any in the division.
Graham Roberts has had to build a completely new team during the summer, but Billy Reid put up a title challenge last year after being left with just six signed players at Broadwood.
I saw Clyde play Livingston last week and I was pretty impressed, but the problem could be that the players they have brought in have not yet played consistently at that level.
The side relegated from the SPL will always start as favourites and Dundee have an experienced manager in Jim Duffy who has seen it all before.
He still has the basis of a good team, but he has lost a bit of quality as they had to let some of their best players leave.
Dundee should finish in the top three at least, but going straight back up is not easy, as my own club found out.
We played Hamilton a couple of weeks ago and they are a big, big team.
Playing on their plastic pitch will favour them and I think they will surprise a few people.
Billy Reid has gone from working with buttons at Clyde to one of the biggest wage bills in Division One and the experience and quality of players like Pat Keogh, Ian Harty, Mark McLaughlin and Marvyn Wilson will stand them in good stead.
Queen of the South keep proving everybody wrong and I have the highest regard for manager Iain Scott.
But they remain part-time and will do well to match last season's top-six finish.
Ross County have a track record of doing reasonably well in Division One and, now under John Robertson, they should be around the top six again.
He will look to flair players like striker David Winters and midfielder John Rankin to make the difference for them.
If Owen Coyle is half as good a manager as his enthusiasm for the game, they will have a winner there in Perth.
The pressure will be on him as chairman Geoff Brown does not tolerate failure very easily.
But, considering the players Owen has brought in, they should be there or thereabouts and, if his strikers are not doing the business, he can always bring himself on.
St Mirren did exceptionally well last season and they should do well again.
The signing of Billy Mehmet from Dunfermline should give Gus MacPherson's side more depth up front.
But there is interest in Kirk Broadfoot and, if the influential defender was to move, that would be a big blow to the Buddies.
Stranraer have the advantage of their visitors facing a long trip to the south of Scotland.
Neil Watt made a couple of quality signings, but their part-time status means that he will simply be aiming for third bottom spot and avoiding the new-style play-offs.
Expectations are always high among all the teams in Division One as they all hope for promotion, but there is only one spot available, which to me is too tight.
The play-offs at the bottom, though, should add to an exciting season if they match the example in England.
