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.
