The top 15 creators in Scottish Premiership this season as Celtic and Rangers stars dominate list
A performance rating algorithm has cemented a Celtic and Rangers star as the most creative players in the top-flight.
BetVictor has uncovered the top chance creators this season via data scouting, with Celtic’s Jota leading the way. Rangers’ Ryan Kent ranked third overall with Celtic’s Liel Abada coming in second.
