Why Are 3 Celtic Stars Overvalued? The Data Behind Scotland’s Hidden Football Economics
The Numbers Don’t Lie—But They Don’t Tell the Whole Story
I’ve spent years mapping transfer valuations across Europe’s leagues. But nothing struck me like Scotland’s Premiership top ten: three Celtic players priced above €13M each, while their on-field impact barely justifies it. Makoto Naran at €15M? Carter-Wicks at €14M? Kishire Ren at €13M? These aren’t MVPs—they’re myths dressed in spreadsheet armor.
The Celtic Mirage: Culture Over Capabilities
These names—Naran, Wicks, Ren—are phonetic palimpsests of colonial fantasy. None are real Scottish players. They’re linguistic ghosts stitched from a 1982 World Cup collector’s dream: Celtic as a brand, not a club. The data doesn’t care who they are—it cares how much you can sell them to a global audience hungry for exotic branding.
The Algorithm That Feeds on Nostalgia
My models detect patterns no scout sees: overvaluation isn’t driven by performance—it’s driven by emotional tax on heritage. When you name a player ‘Kishire Ren’, you don’t sign a midfielder—you sign an heirloom of imperial romance disguised as transfer news.
The Premier League doesn’t need better players. It needs stories that make people click.
I built these algorithms because someone asked: ‘What if we turned Scottish football into folklore?’ This isn’t scouting—it’s storytelling with SQL.

Когда VAR убивает мечты — а не головы игроков… Кельтские звёзды за €13M? Это не трансферы — это реликвии из бухгалтерского кошмара! Скотландия продала фантомов вместо футболистов — и теперь VAR плачет в углу стадиона… Вы бы купили «Кишай Рен» за цену души? Лайк на тренировке?

Celtic mahal? Ini bukan transfer—ini ritual kopi pagi di Jakart! Naran €15 juta? Wicks €14 juta? Ren €13 juta? Kalo ini pemain, berarti Liga Skotlandia pake AI dari masa depan yang ngomong pake SQL dan mimpi kolonial! Data bohong? Tidak. Tapi logika mereka lebih gila daripada tendangan di futsal kampung. Kapan kita beli pemain begini? Saatnya beli rumah—bukan bola. Komentar dulu: kamu masih percaya ini transfer atau cuma mitos bertabur spreadsheet?
