Every Celtic player's ratings so far this season including two 8/10 standout performers + one 3/10 flop
How every Celtic player has rated during the 2026/26 campaign thus far
Celtic have used a sizeable group of players during the opening weeks of the 2026/27 season, with European football, domestic competition and a busy league schedule giving opportunities to both established names and summer arrivals.
With the campaign now well underway, player statistics provide an interesting snapshot of how each member of Martin O’Neill’s first-team squad has performed so far.
Understandably, the Hoops’ current league standing has been reflected in the ratings awarded by GlasgowWorld. Camilo Duran and Colby Donovan are amongst the highest rated players for the season so far along, while Luke McCowan and Sebastian Tounekti are at the opposite end of the scale.
Celtic player ratings for 2026/27 Premiership season so far
Here is our rating for every single player to make a first team appearance for Celtic this season:
Yang Hyun-jun - 7.5/10
South Korean winger has enjoyed an encouraging start. His pace and ability to attack defenders have made him a useful outlet, although greater consistency in the final third would make his contribution even more significant. Currently on Asian Cup duty with his country.
Oliver Sorensen - 5/10
On loan Parma midfielder looks a player still adjusting to his role within the team. There have been flashes of his quality, but consistency has yet to arrive.
Cameron Carter-Vickers - 7/10
American centre-back has generally been one of Celtic's most dependable defenders. He has played a significant proportion of the minutes and his average match ratings have been among the team's best. His defensive importance remains clear, albeit recent back-to-back Old Firm defeats were less convincing, but those matches were symptomatic of wider problems rather than solely individual errors.
Luke McCowan - 3/10
A squad player, who despite never being an automatic starter, has come in for some intense scrutiny so far. His six appearances demonstrate that he is firmly part of the rotation due to his versatility and energy, but his cameo outing against LASK was hugely disappointing.
Kieran Tierney - 6.5/10
The full-back’s attacking intent and quality from the left-hand side have added another dimension to the team. Despite his failure to complete a full 90 minutes, he has consistently been among the best in the squad. The major question is whether he can maintain that level consistently through a demanding schedule.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - 4.5/10
Has been used sparingly by O’Neill. The former Liverpool and Arsenal midfielder’s big game experience and technical ability are clear for everyone to see, but he has not yet played enough football to exert a sustained influence.
Benjamin Nygren - 7.5/10
The Swede has been one of Celtic's standout performers in attack. He has combined goals with creativity and has become one of the side’s most productive attacking players.
Shim Mheuka - 5/10
Chelsea loanee has been given four appearances, all from the bench. His opportunities have been brief, so it would be unfair to draw strong conclusions from his current contribution but he has looked bright in those cameos.
Liam Scales - 6.5/10
Republic of Ireland defender has offered Celtic useful defensive stability. He has been involved regularly, scored once and scooping a Player of the Match award.
Kasper Hogh - 5/10
The former Bodo/Glimt forward has three league goals to his name, which came against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on just his second appearance. However, his form has tailed off dramatically since then and as found himself dropped to the bench in recent weeks. Looks bereft of confidence at present.
Haissem Hassan - 6/10
Egyptian wide man has been involved regularly enough to suggest that he is becoming an important attacking option, albeit he is lacking consistency. The next step is turning those positive performances into goals and assists.
Anthony Ralston - 3/10
Has had a relatively peripheral role, making only three appearances due to injury. He remains a useful squad option but has not had enough sustained involvement to make a significant impression on the campaign.
Viljami Sinisalo - 7/10
Finnish goalkeeper has been Celtic's most-used goalkeeper in the opening stages of the season, starting the majority of the league campaign. His performances have generally been dependable. He has not been flawless, but has still provided the champions with a solid foundation.
Camilo Duran - 8/10
Colombian striker has arguably been Celtic's most important summer addition. He has quickly established himself as a major source of goals, with his movement and willingness to run behind defences giving Celtic something different.
Mika Baur - 6.5/10
German midfielder has made a solid start to his Celtic career, scoring twice and becoming an increasingly important part of Celtic's midfield. His goal against Ferencváros in the Europa League was one of the few bright moments on a disappointing night.
Alistair Johnston - 4/10
Canadian full-back has made only two appearances so far, so his sample is small. His statistical numbers are encouraging, but it would be premature to draw major conclusions from such limited involvement. Currently sidelined through injury.
Callum McGregor - 5.5/10
The captain remains central to Celtic's midfield and has started almost all of their important league matches. He has also contributed a goal, although the recent defeats have exposed some of the limitations of relying on him to control matches when Celtic are under pressure. His influence is still considerable, but his performances have not been at the very highest level throughout the campaign.
Sebastian Tounekti - 4.5/10
Tunisian attacker has made ten appearances with most of those coming from the bench. Has shown flashes of pace and directness, but has not yet produced the consistency required to become nail down a regular starting berth.
Auston Trusty - 7/10
USA international has generally performed well. He has combined physical strength with increasing familiarity alongside Carter-Vickers. Remains a reliable option, even though there have been occasions when the defence has looked vulnerable, particularly against stronger opposition.
Callum Osmand - 4/10
Welsh frontman has only made two appearances, both from the bench, meaning his opportunities have been limited. There is not enough evidence yet to make a meaningful judgement. Currently sidelined through injury.
Sam Johnstone - 5/10
Wolves loanee has made just two appearances, which included a clean sheet against St Johnstone before enduring an Old Firm nightmare in the League Cup defeat by Rangers. Still early to draw firm conclusions, but whether he can establish himself as first-choice goalkeeper remains to be seen.
Colby Donovan - 8/10
Teenager right-back has arguably been one of the more encouraging developments of the campaign. Has been trusted in a variety of situations by veteran manager O’Neill and his form has earned him a maiden call-up to the senior Scotland squad.
Dane Murray - 4/10
Has been handed opportunities without yet establishing himself as a regular starter. His three appearances show that he remains on the fringes of the first-team picture, but he remains some way from becoming a defensive automatic choice.
James Forrest - 5/10
Veteran winger has been used predominantly as an impact substitute, making eight appearances. At this stage of his career, his role is different from the one he occupied during his prime. Can still provide experience and attacking intelligence.
Jordan Lotomba - N/A - Not enough evidence to assess.
Joël van den Berg - N/A - Not enough evidence to assess.
Landon Emenalo - N/A - Not enough evidence to assess.
Ross Doohan - N/A - Not enough evidence to assess.
Jota - N/A - Not enough evidence to assess.
