EVERY CELTIC PLAYER WAGES IN 2026: KIERAN TIERNEY LEADS THE WAY AS THE FULL SQUAD LIST IS REVEALED

Celtic’s 2026 squad contains a fascinating mix of experienced internationals, established first-team stars and exciting young players, and the latest wage figures reveal how the club’s salary structure is distributed across the squad.

At the top of the list is Kieran Tierney, who reportedly earns £50,000 per week, making him the highest-paid Celtic player on the current list. His figure places him comfortably ahead of several experienced teammates and highlights the importance of one of the club’s biggest names.

Behind Tierney is captain Callum McGregor, who is listed on £37,000 per week. The same weekly figure is also attached to Jota and Cameron Carter-Vickers, giving the club three players immediately below its highest earner.

Kasper Høgh follows on £35,000 per week, while Auston Trusty is listed at £32,000 per week. These figures demonstrate how Celtic’s highest salaries are concentrated among players expected to contribute heavily at first-team level.

The next group includes Haissem Hassan, Alistair Johnston and Benjamin Nygren, each listed on £25,000 per week. Their positions on the wage table underline the competitive nature of Celtic’s squad, with several players occupying similar salary brackets.

There is then another sizeable group earning £20,000 per week. That includes Arne Engels, Oliver Sørensen, Mika Baur and Camilo Durán. The presence of several players at this level shows that Celtic has invested significantly in building squad depth rather than relying exclusively on a handful of highly paid stars.

The next tier sees Viljami Sinisalo, Liam Scales, Reo Hatate, Hyun-jun Yang, Paulo Bernardo and Johnny Kenny all listed on £15,000 per week.

That group is particularly interesting because it includes players with different levels of experience and different roles within the squad. It also shows that Celtic’s wage structure extends across a broad range rather than being concentrated only among senior players.

Shin Yamada is listed on £12,000 per week, while Anthony Ralston, Luke McCowan, Sebastian Tounekti and Michel-Ange Balikwisha are each listed on £10,000 per week.

Further down the table, Hayato Inamura is listed on £7,000 per week, followed by Ross Doohan and Benjamin Arthur, both on £5,000 per week.

The lower end of the list features some of Celtic’s younger players. Callum Osmand is listed on £2,500 per week, while Joel Mvuka is on £2,000 per week. Jahmai Simpson-Pusey and Dane Murray complete the list at £1,000 per week each.

When the figures are combined, the table puts Celtic’s reported total weekly wage bill at approximately £548,500, equivalent to around £28.4 million annually before bonuses.

The figures also show just how wide the gap can be between the highest and lowest earners. Tierney’s reported £50,000 weekly salary is fifty times the £1,000 figure attached to Simpson-Pusey and Murray.

However, a wage table should not be viewed simply as a ranking of player importance. Salaries can reflect contract timing, previous negotiations, experience, transfer status, bonuses and a player’s perceived value when the agreement was signed.

For Celtic supporters, the most interesting aspect is therefore not simply who earns the most, but whether each player’s contribution matches expectations.

From Tierney and McGregor at the top to the younger players developing at the bottom, the complete list provides an intriguing snapshot of Celtic’s squad in 2026.

With 30 players included, the figures demonstrate the depth of the current squad and the different levels of investment made across it. As Celtic continues competing domestically and aiming for success on the European stage, the balance between experienced stars, established first-team players and emerging talent will remain crucial.

The complete 2026 list is therefore more than just a collection of numbers. It offers supporters an insight into the structure of the Celtic squad—and inevitably raises the question: which Celtic player is giving the club the best value for his reported weekly salary?
