Micky Beale and Ross Wilson have been handed a £35m boost to their summer revamp thanks to the team at transfermarkt.com.
In terms of statistics, contract lengths and transfer fees paid Transfermarkt.com is very reliable but when it comes to current valuations it seems that they have overdosed on moonbeams.
The sort of moonbeams that had Stewart Robertson telling a group of fans in 2018 that the club will only consider a bid of Dembele Dollars for Alfredo Morelos.
Oddly enough both strikers will be free agents in the summer but in-between times Celtic banked £19m from the sale of the French striker to Lyon.
And this is what the top 10 in the Scottish Premiership now looks like ?

Ryan Kent €11m, Todd Cantwell €8m, James Tavernier €8m, John Lundstram €7.5m, Nicolas Raskin €7m.
Taking 10% off to convert into pounds puts a combined value of £35m on those five stars.
With his contract up in three months time no fee will be required for Kent when the next transfer window opens.
Cantwell and Raskin were bought for combined fees of around £2m at the end of January, unless there is a Boumsong deal in the offing no clubs will be sending £13.5m to Ibrox in the summer for the midfield duo.
In seven years at Ibrox there has been no genuine transfer interest in Tavernier, with just over a year left on his contract there won’t be a stampede of interest in Lundstram who was available for free in the summer of 2021 with only one club showing interest.
