Ryan Kent remains at the peak of a Scottish Premiership most valuable players list despite a major downgrade this season, according to a new ranking.

Football information site Transfermarkt has updated its most valuable players and club squad values list for players who did not take part in the World Cup finals.

And Rangers dominate the top 10 list with seven players featured in the most valuable ranking according to the German website.

Kent tops the table valued at €14m - which is €3.5m lower than the previous update. Alfredo Morelos suffered a similar, if slightly lesser at €3m, downfall in value but remains third in the ranking at  €10m tied with team-mate James Tavernier.

Connor Goldson (€8m), Glen Kamara (€7.5m), John Lundstram (€7.5m) and Ianis Hagi (€7m) round out the Rangers players in the top 10 MVP list.

Celtic's Jota is second in the value rankings at €11m after a huge €3.5m rise in estimated value since the last update.

Cameron Carter-Vickers (€9.5m) and Callum McGregor (€8m) are the other Celtic stars included in the Transfermarkt most valuable players list.

Despite the obvious imbalance in the Rangers and Celtic split in the MVP list, Transfermarkt report that Celtic are closing the gap in their squad value with a 5.9 percent increase in total compared with a 4.1 percent fall at Ibrox.

Jota's €3.5m rise in value is the highest in the league - excluding any World Cup value updates - and six more Celtic players feature in the biggest rises in value ranking.

Matt O'Riley is up by €2.7m, Cameron Carter-Vickers by €2.5m, Reo Hatate €1.8m, Greg Taylor and Moritz Jenz €1.5m and Giorgos Giakoumakis €1m.

For Rangers, Antonio Colak has received a €2.5m rise, Malik Tillman is up by €1.3m and Leon King has had his value increased by €900,000.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Transfermarkt has also listed the ten 'biggest losers' in their value list.

Kent tops the list (€3.5m) with Morelos just behind at €3m. Ridvan Yilmaz (€500k), Rabbi Matondo (€500k) and Filip Helander (€500k) also feature as Rangers players on the list.

Five Celtic players also feature on the 'biggest losers' with Oliver Abildgaard (€2m), David Turnbull (€1m), James Forrest (€1m), Aaron Mooy (€1m) and Liel Abada (€500k) all seeing their value decreased in the recent update.

With all the new figures applied to the squad lists throughout the Scottish Premiership, Transfermarkt have also listed the most valuable squads in the league.

Rangers top the table (€124m) with Celtic not far behind at €115.8m. Hearts are next in line with a 2.9 percent increase in value to €15.98m with Edinburgh rivals Hibs in fourth with a 1 percent increase at €14.9m.

The table then follows; Aberdeen (€10.95m), St Johnstone (€9.98m), Dundee United (€9.65m), Kilmarnock (€9.63m), Livingston (€9.23m), Motherwell (€9.08m), St Mirren (€8.65m) and Ross County (€7.83m).

How Transfermarkt market values work

"The Transfermarkt market values are calculated, taking into account various pricing models. A major factor is the Transfermarkt community, whose members discuss and evaluate player market values in detail. In general, the Transfermarkt market values are not to be equated with transfer fees. 

"The goal is not to predict a price but an expected value of a player in a free market. Both individual transfer modalities and situational conditions are relevant in determining market values. Examples of this are listed below. Transfermarkt does not use an algorithm."
