Celtic Player Wages: Full Salary List for 2026/27 Revealed

Celtic’s player wage structure for the 2026/27 season has been revealed, giving supporters an insight into how much the club’s first-team squad is earning on a weekly and annual basis.

The figures show a wide difference between the highest-paid players and those who are still developing their careers. Celtic’s total weekly wage bill is listed at around £528,500, which works out at approximately £27.4 million per year, before taking bonuses and other additional payments into account.

At the top of the wage structure is Kieran Tierney, who is listed on £50,000 per week. That puts the experienced Scotland international at the top of the Celtic salary rankings, with his reported annual basic wage standing at approximately £2.6 million.

Tierney is followed by several important first-team players on £37,000 per week. The list includes Callum McGregor, Jota and Cameron Carter-Vickers, highlighting the importance of the trio within Celtic’s squad. Each player is listed at approximately £1.9 million per year before bonuses.

Kasper Høgh is next on the list with reported earnings of £35,000 per week, equivalent to around £1.8 million annually. His position near the top of the wage structure reflects the club’s investment in key first-team talent.

Further down, Auston Trusty is listed on £32,000 per week, while Alistair Johnston, Benjamin Nygren and Haïssam Hassan are among those earning £25,000 per week. These figures demonstrate that Celtic’s wage structure remains heavily concentrated around players considered important to the senior squad.

There are also several players earning around £20,000 per week, including Arne Engels, Mika Baur and Camilo Durán. Meanwhile, players such as Viljami Sinisalo, Liam Scales, Reo Hatate, Hyun-jun Yang, Paulo Bernardo and Johnny Kenny are listed at £15,000 per week.

One of the interesting aspects of the figures is the range of salaries across the squad. Shin Yamada is listed at £12,000 per week, while Anthony Ralston, Luke McCowan, Sebastian Tounekti and Michel-Ange Balikwisha are each listed at £10,000.

The lower end of the table features a number of younger or less established players. Hayato Inamura is listed at £7,000 per week, while Ross Doohan and Benjamin Arthur are both on £5,000. Callum Osmand is listed at £2,500, followed by Joel Mvuka on £2,000.

At the bottom of the reported list are Jahmai Simpson-Pusey and Dane Murray, both listed on £1,000 per week.

The figures also show that bonuses can add significantly to a player’s overall earnings. Some members of the squad have reported bonus figures running into hundreds of thousands of pounds, meaning their eventual annual income could be considerably higher than their basic salaries.

For Celtic, the wage bill is an important part of the club’s wider financial strategy. Managing salaries while continuing to strengthen the squad is a delicate balance, particularly when competing domestically and in European competition.

The numbers also highlight the different stages of a footballer’s career. Established stars and experienced internationals command the biggest salaries, while younger players generally start on more modest contracts before potentially earning significant increases as their roles within the team grow.

Overall, Celtic’s reported 2026/27 wage structure provides an interesting look behind the scenes at Parkhead. With more than half a million pounds reportedly committed to weekly player wages, the figures underline the financial scale of maintaining a competitive squad.

For supporters, however, wages will ultimately be judged by performances. The biggest earners will be expected to deliver on the pitch, while the younger players will be hoping to prove that their potential can eventually translate into bigger contracts and greater responsibility.
