With the Scottish Premiership season now over, the country’s clubs are heading into their pre-season breaks to allow Euro 2024 to take the sporting headlines.
However, in just over a month the Premier Sports Cup group stage will begin and before we know it, a host of SPFL clubs will be back for another action-packed season. Rangers and Celtic will once again be locking horns in the battle for the title, but can Hearts, Kilmarnock or St Mirren upset the applecart after grabbing the European spots in 23/24?
At the opposite end of the table, Ross County will be looking to avoid the relegation play-offs for a third consecutive season, while Hibs and Aberdeen will hope to make vast improvements on last year’s bottom half finishes.
Ultimately, the success of each team will be by and large down to the quality shown on the pitch. So, ahead of 2024/25, we look at which 20 players are currently the highest valued in the Scottish Premiership, as per their updated Transfermarkt valuations.

10. James Tavernier - £5.5 million
The Rangers captain has been tipped to join ex-Ibrox boss Steven Gerrard at Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq in a big money move. His market value is rated at £5.5 million but the Gers are likely to ask for more if he did leave this summer. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
11. Nicolas Raskin - £5.5 million
The Belgian ended the season in the Rangers starting XI but found regular game time difficult to come by in 23/24. However, still just 23-years-old, the youth international has potential. This reflects in his market value. | SNS Group Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group
12. Danilo - £5.1 million
Signed for a reported £6 million last summer, the Brazilian forward showed flashes of talent before injury ended his campaign prematurely. His market value hasn't dipped much though, despite his injury-hit campaign. | Ian MacNicol Photo: Ian MacNicol
