The Scottish Premiership is the highest football league in Scotland. In the past 20 years, the Celtic FC and the Rangers FC have been the only two teams to win the league, which was only established in 2013. Beforehand the highest league was the Scottish Premier League. Since the new establishment, Celtic FC has been the only club to win the league. This is also reflected in the average annual player salary, which is highest at Celtic FC with roughly 896 thousand British pounds, followed by Rangers FC with approximately 650 British pounds.
