Rangers hit gold on “magical” ace who’s worth more than every Celtics player

Celtic are back in action in the Scottish Premiership this afternoon as they prepare to take on city rivals Glasgow Rangers in the Old Firm clash.

The Hoops will move 19 points clear with eight games left to play if they secure all three points today, which would all-but-seal their fourth successive league title success.

Brendan Rodgers’ side will be hoping to pick up where they left off after they beat Hibernian 2-0 in the quarter-finals of the SFA Cup last weekend.

Rangers, meanwhile, beat Fenerbahce on penalties in the Europa League, after losing 2-0 in normal time, and could come into this match with some confidence off the back of that success.

Even with that in mind, however, Celtic should be confident of being able to get the job done in front of their home support, given how far off the Gers have been this season, as evidenced by the 16-point gap between the two teams in the Premiership.

Rangers have not won the top-flight title since the 2020/21 campaign under Steven Gerrard and their current squad does not boast many high-valued talents that will be feared by the Hoops defenders today.

The most valuable Rangers players

Barry Ferguson’s team do not have a single player in their first-team squad who is worth at least £10m, as per Transfermarkt, as their most expensive player is Wolfsburg loanee Vaclav Cerny at £7.6m.

He is not a permanent Rangers player, however, and the most valuable star solely contracted to the Light Blues is central midfielder Mohamed Diomande, who is valued at just £5.9m.

The board and ownership at Ibrox have been unable to sign and develop young talents to create a valuable squad that can compete with Celtic on all fronts, hence why the Hoops are on course to seal the domestic treble this season.
