Rangers surpass Celtic in squad value amid trophy debate
Summary

As of October 3, 2026, the Rangers' squad is valued at £132 million, overtaking Celtic by nearly £19 million. This increase stems from a 4.6% rise this summer. Despite this financial benchmark, critics point out that Celtic holds a record 122 major honors compared to Rangers' limited success since their restructuring in 2012. The financial comparisons have gained attention against the backdrop of infrastructure issues affecting Scottish clubs. Amid ongoing discussions about squad valuations and real on-field achievements, Celtic's historical dominance in trophies remains a focal point.
