Celtic make almost £200m in transfer sales as staggering Rangers gulf laid bare
Source:Football Scotland

Matt O'Riley's sale to Brighton this week highlighted Celtic's excellent transfer model in action.

The Hoops brought the Dane to Parkhead back in 2022 for around PS1.5million with MK Dons resigned to losing their key man at the time for a paltry sum. Fast-forward two brilliant seasons and the PS30m Celts received for their playmaker was a record-breaking high which, added to the club coffers, will only serve to further strengthen the Scottish champions.

The midfielder, 23, is not the only man to move on from Celtic in recent years for mega money with Kieran Tierney, Odsonne Edouard and Jota all among the alum to rake in the big bucks.

The information shows PS196.35m in sales has come in which dwarfs rivals Rangers and proves the significant gulf between the two clubs. In comparison, the Light Blues have raked in PS60.4m from sales across the same timescale.

Aberdeen, Hibs and Motherwell make up the top five clubs in Scotland's Premiership in terms of money incoming from transfers in that time.

Celtic top 10 sales 1. Matt O'Riley - PS30m

2. Jota - PS25m+

3. Kieran Tierney - PS25m

4. Moussa Dembele - PS19m

5. Odsonne Edouard - PS13.5m

6. Kris Ajer - PS13.2m

7. Virgil van Dijk - PS13.2m

8. Victor Wanyama - PS12.2m

9. Fraser Forster - PS10.5m

10. Aiden McGeady - PS8m
