It has been a rollercoaster of a title race for both Rangers and Celtic, with the Old Firm rivals battling it out to be crowned the champions of Scotland. The duo meet this weekend in the final league derby of the season.
A disaster of a start under Michael Beale appeared to put an early end to Rangers’ title hopes, before roaring back under Philippe Clement in the middle of the campaign. However, the title advantage is now in the hands of Brendan Rodgers and Celtic. They lead Rangers by three points with a superior goal difference and know that a win on Saturday at Parkhead will take them to the brink of retaining their crown.
But which side is currently paying the most for their line-up? Which players are offering the best value for money and proving to be key cogs in the title race? Here are the the top 10 Scottish Premiership players with the highest weekly salary, all from Rangers and Celtic, according to SalarySport.
