Career high for Tillman
Following the update in the Scottish Premiership, top Japanese striker Kyogo Furuhashi from champions Celtic Glasgow now shares the top spot in the league’s most valuable professional rankings with his team-mate Jota. The 28-year-old jumps by 5 million to now 14 million euros.
Last season, Kyogo contributed 34 goals and five assists in 50 games across all competitions and was also the top scorer within the league with an impressive quota of 26 goals in 31 games – as well as the biggest winner of the Transfermarkt update. “Kyogo was undoubtedly the star of Celtic’s treble season and that was reflected in the flood of rumors linking him to a move to Tottenham Hotspur this summer, among other things,” explained Stefan Bienkowski. The content manager at Transfermarkt UK attests: “Kyogo was the best player in Scotland this season.”

Squad ratings Scottish Premiership: Celtic overtake Rangers
The Glasgow side also benefited last season from a young squad built by London-bound Ange Postecoglou during his two-year tenure and with whom Celtic have now won five trophies in the past two years.
Among others Liel Abada (+€500,000 to €7.5m), Alistair Johnston (+€1m to €7m) and Matt O’Riley (+€2m to €9m), Cameron Carter -Vickers (+€2m to €13m), Jota (+€2m to €14m) and above all Reo Hatate (+€4.5m to €11m), one of the most complete midfielder in the league, see an upgrade in the course of the update.
Celtic’s squad value has increased by €12.25m to €129.1m, taking the club past city rivals Rangers to the top of the list of the most valuable Scottish teams. “It remains to be seen how much the returning manager Brendan Rodgers will transform Postecoglou’s winning team, but there is no doubt that Celtic have a more talented squad than Rangers at the moment,” said Bienkowski, adding: “It’s not without reason that they have Parkhead club, excluding 2021, all league titles won in last 10.”
Market values Glasgow Rangers: Manager Beale has ‘huge task’ ahead of him
Meanwhile, a grandiose upheaval is underway around Ibrox Stadium, where Michael Beale took over the sporting leadership of Rangers last November. The focus is on building a new team capable of challenging their rivals and playing at the top again. The need is evident in the aging and underperforming stars that have prevented Beale’s team from keeping up this season. As a result, many Rangers pros are hit with devaluations in the course of the update.
The most valuable players at the beginning of the season, Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos, recorded a minus of 3 million to now 8 million euros. or by one million to now 6 million euros. Also down are Kemar Roofe (-€1.2m to €2.8m), Tom Lawrence (-1m to €4m), Ianis Hagi (-1m to €4m) and Ridvan Yilmaz (-€1m to €4m). Overall, the squad value of the Rangers falls by 13.1 million euros.
“There is little doubt that Rangers fans are fed up with star players underperforming and the club relying on older talent – while Celtic have better recruits on and off the pitch,” said Bienkowski, adding: “Not only will Beale be tasked with taking Rangers back to the top of the Scottish Premiership, but he and his backroom team must ensure they achieve that goal with young, talented players who can also excite fans. He has a huge task ahead of him.”
Market Values Scottish Premiership: The June update’s biggest winners
It’s not all bad news for Rangers, however, with attacker Fashion Sakala seeing a market value increase from €500,000 to €5.5m after a strong season. Beale’s signings Todd Cantwell (new value €8.5m) and Nicolas Raskin (new value €7.5m) also made league breakthroughs, both showing their potential.
Bayern loanee Malik Tillman is also up by EUR 500,000 to EUR 5 million, a career high for the 21-year-old attacker. The native of Nuremberg has ten goals and four assists after his first season abroad.

Even if Celtic and Rangers in Scotland usually keep to themselves when it comes to championship titles, a number of other top performers also impressed at other clubs in the past season. For example, the biggest increase in market value among the other ten clubs is Kevin Nisbet (+€500,000 to €2.5m), who contributed 11 scorers in just 14 league games for Hibernian FC before moving to Millwall in the summer for €2.34m changes.
Strikers Duk (Aberdeen; +€500,000 to €1.5m) and Lawrence Shankland (Hearts; +€300,000 to €1.3m) also had an impressive 47 scorers this Premiership season and can boast accordingly also look forward to a market value plus. Kilmarnock winger Danny Armstrong (+€250,000 to €700,000), Motherwell striker Kevin Van Veen (+€200,000 to €800,000) and Ross County playmaker Yan Dhanda (+€150,000 to €750,000) also receive big ones after convincing performances gains.
This is how the Transfermarkt market values work
The Transfermarkt market values are created taking into account various pricing models and a strong involvement of the Transfermarkt community, which deals with the values in detailed discussions. The transfer market market values are not to be equated with the transfer fees actually paid.
The goal is not to predict a price, but an expected value. When determining the market value, both individual transfer modalities and situational framework conditions are relevant to a certain extent. Examples of this are listed here. Transfermarkt does not use an algorithm (for detailed market value definition).
