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.
5. Luke McCowan - £599k
Has enjoyed a dream start to his Hoops career, scoring the clinching second goal against Hearts at the weekend, following his debut appearance in the 3-0 win over Rangers. Surprisingly one of Celtic's lowest valued players. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
6. Scott Bain - £731k
The long-serving goalkeeper is now Celtic's third choice goalkeeper after falling further down the pecking order this summer. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
7. Stephen Welsh - £1.2million
The 24-year-old is a fringe player at Celtic Park and could find it even more difficult to break into the team following the signing of Auston Trusty on deadline day. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
8. Kasper Schmeichel - £1.3million
Despite turning 37, the Danish international is still Celtic's most valuable goalkeeper. Had a fantastic career and still looks like he has plenty to offer. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
