Brendan Rodgers: Euro cash gulf greater than SPFL inequality
Celtic’s record 5-0 home defeat against the big spending French club on Tuesday prompted some observations that the Scottish champions were simply receiving a taste of their own medicine, in relation to the dominance they command at domestic level.
The most recent survey of global sports salaries by the Sporting Intelligence website revealed that PSG’s average player wage last season was £4.47 million, more than six times the figure of around £718,000 attributed to Celtic. In the Scottish Premiership, that sum sees Celtic pay around 15 times more than some of their rivals including Ross County who, with an average wage of around £47,500, are the visitors to Parkhead today.
