Celtic’s top five earners according to salary sport

• Weekly Wage: £37,000
• Yearly Salary: £1,924,000

As the heart and soul of Celtic’s midfield, Callum McGregor’s leadership on and off the pitch is reflected in his position as the club’s top earner. His commitment and performances have made him an indispensable part of the team.

2. Cameron Carter-Vickers

• Weekly Wage: £24,000
• Yearly Salary: £1,248,000

The American defender has solidified Celtic’s backline since arriving at the club. While his listed wages are substantial, it’s worth mentioning that recent reports suggest Carter-Vickers may have agreed to a new deal that could potentially increase his earnings, though this has not been reflected in the current data.

3. Kyogo Furuhashi 

• Weekly Wage: £19,000
• Yearly Salary: £988,000

Kyogo’s impact since joining Celtic has been nothing short of sensational. His goal-scoring prowess and work rate on the field make him a fan favourite and justify his place among the club’s top earners.

4. James Forrest

• Weekly Wage: £19,000
• Yearly Salary: £988,000

A one-club man, James Forrest’s loyalty and consistent performances over the years have made him a key figure at Celtic. His experience and ability to change games have been invaluable to the team, however, he has become more than a bit-part figure. We suspect that if new contract renewals were updated, James would be bumped from the top five.

5. Daizen Maeda

• Weekly Wage: £18,000
• Yearly Salary: £936,000

Maeda’s versatility and energy have quickly made him an important player for Celtic. His contribution to the team’s attacking and defensive phases showcases his importance to the squad.

While these figures offer an insight into the financial commitments at Celtic, it’s speculated that the wages for Reo Hatate and Cameron Carter-Vickers might not be up to date following their new agreements. As contracts and negotiations are often kept private, the actual figures could vary.

Celtic’s investment in player’s wages hasn’t really shifted in the past 10-15 years. They have a strict way of doing things and they appear to have a self imposed ceiling when it comes to how much they will pay a player weekly.
