Why Are Celtic Stars Dominating Scotland’s Premier League Transfer Market? The Data Doesn’t Lie — And It’s Not Just About Money
The Myth of the Overpaid Celt
I used to think Celtic fans were screaming about inflated valuations—until the numbers whispered otherwise. Last week, our analytics team ran a full audit: the Scottish Premiership’s top 10 earners reveal something deeper than headlines suggest. These aren’t paychecks. They’re chess moves.
The Three Who Defy Logic
Makoto Daren at €15M? A ‘premium’ price—but only if you isolate his xG per 90 minutes and his press coverage rate. Carty-Vicks at €14M? His off-ball movement defies conventional wisdom—he thrives in zones few analysts dare to quantify.
Kishiren Yamo at €13M? He doesn’t just score goals; he redefines pressure points with spatial awareness.
Why England Sees What Scotland Misses
We call it ‘Celtic economics.’ In London, we’d say: if you subtract anxiety from salary and add cold logic, you get not ‘overpay,’ you get ‘underinvestment.’ The English media calls this madness; we call it strategy.
The rest? Engeus (€12M), Kuhn (€12M), Raskin (€10M)—they’re not outliers. They’re data points in a system designed by men who think differently.
This isn’t about transfer fees—it’s about predictive modeling disguised as folklore. And yes—I still argue with coaches over this every Tuesday morning.

¡Qué locura! Los de Celtic no gastan dinero… ¡gastan ajedrez! En la Premier League escocesa, cada pase es un movimiento de ajedrez con xG y el 90% de presión. ¿15 millones por un centro? ¡Pero si lo isolas… es un alfil moviéndose en zona! El resto? Engeus y Kuhn no son outliers… ¡son los genios que juegan con datos! ¿Y la lógica fría? La verdad: esto no es fútbol… es táctica disfrazada de folklore. ¿Quién quiere pagar? Yo prefiero el mate. ¿Tú crees que si sumas ansiedad y restas frío… se convierte en underinvestment? ¡Comenta abajo si también harías un jaque mate!
Celtic’s transfer market isn’t overpaying—it’s advanced chess with salary as pawns. Makoto Daren at €15M? That’s not a wage, it’s a predictive model disguised as folklore. Kishiren Yamo doesn’t score goals—he redefines pressure points like a grandmaster analyzing the board at 3 AM. Meanwhile, England calls it ‘madness.’ We call it strategy. So… who’s really the outlier here? The data. Or is this just another Tuesday morning coffee break? 😏
Cuando Messi deja el balón… ¡los de Glasgow empiezan a jugar al ajedrez! No es sobre salarios, es sobre modelos predictivos disfrazados de folclore.
¿15 millones por un pase? Eso es como si un reloj de fútbol midiera el ritmo del corazón… y la presión del rival.
Y tú ¿crees que lo que falta es dinero… o simplemente intuición? Vota en los comentarios: ¿Quién debe recibir el pase? 😉
So Celtic’s transfer budget isn’t spending—it’s tactical origami. €15M for xG per 90 minutes? That’s not a player—that’s a quantum chess move wrapped in analytics. The English call it madness; we call it strategy.
They’re not overpaid—they’re under-invested philosophers playing 4D chess with real money.
What’s the one move you’d never see? A fan buying goals… while the CFO cries in silence.
(Also: if you subtract anxiety from salary… you get ‘underinvestment.’)
