Scottish Premiership most valuable XI without Celtic & Rangers as 4 Hearts and 2 Hibs stars in updated list
Hibs and Hearts stars aplenty in the Scottish Premiership's most valuable squad without Celtic or Rangers figures
Celtic and Rangers may be the leading lights in the Scottish Premiership in terms of likely title winners but as we know very well in Edinburgh, there is so much to the top tier besides the big two.
It is far from surprising that Rangers and Celtic dominate when it comes to the most valuable players in the Scottish Premiership. The Old Firm sides are able to enjoy squad market values of well over £100 million but those of their Scottish Premiership counterparts are all below £20 million with Aberdeen benefiting from the next highest valued squad.
Ahead of another busy week's action in the Scottish Premiership, here is the highest valued playing XI in the Scottish Premiership, excluding players from both Celtic and Rangers.
1. Martin Boyle: Edinburgh's most valuable asset in top XI squad outside of Old Firm

Motherwell's Liam Kelly would take the gloves. The 27-year-old has a market value of £650,000.
3. LB: Stephen Kingsley - Hearts
The newly turned right-back would still slot into his old position on the left-hand side. The 29-year-old has a value of £1 million
4. CB: Rhys Williams - Aberdeen
22-year-old Liverpool loanee Williams has a market value of £2 million.
