Celtic continued their perfect start to the Scottish Premiership campaign with a comfortable 2-0 win over Hearts at the weekend as their defence title picked up further momentum.
It was two new boys they had to thank for the three points this weekend, with £11million record buy Arne Engels slotting home his first Celtic goal from the penalty spot, before Luke McCowan curled home a lovely strike on the cusp of full-time. With Adam Idah also unlucky to see a third chalked off for offside, the result and performance showed just how strong the Hoops squad is this season as they approach their highly-anticipated Champions League campaign this Wednesday.
Comfortably the highest-valued squad in the top flight, the Hoops look far more equipped than they have in recent years to have a real go in Europe this year too, with a number of player’s values well into the millions - even after Matt O’Riley’s £26million switch to Brighton.
Using popular statistics website FotMob, we look at the individual value of every Celtic player, ranked from lowest value to highest.
1. James McCarthy - £301k
Remember him? He has not played for the club since October 2022 but still has 12 months left on the four-year contract he signed after leaving Crystal Palace in 2021. Celtic's lowest valued player. | SNS Group Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group
2. Liam Shaw - £344k
Another forgotten man, the midfielder's Celtic career has failed to take off since his move from Sheffield Wednesday. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
3. Adam Montgomery - £473k
The 21-year-old left-back hasn't featured much after loan spells at Fleetwood Town and Motherwell were curtailed by injury. He is behind Greg Taylor and Alex Valle in the pecking order. | SNS Group Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
4. Viljami Sinisalo - £599k
He was signed for a reported £1million in the summer from Aston Villa, but is valued at just over half that price by FotMob. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
