Lawrence Shankland: £30,000 per week

One goal off the Golden Boot in Hearts’ agonising title chase in 2025-26, Lawrence Shankland earned a lucrative move to Rangers in the summer of 2026.

Scorer of 88 goals in 171 appearances for Hearts, Shankland will be leading the line for Rangers in 2026-27.

Youssef Chermiti: £30,000 per week

In 2025, Youssef Chermiti became Rangers’ most expensive signing since 2000. For a fee that could rise to £10 million, expectations were high, and Chermiti lived up to them with a string of headline-grabbing performances.

He stepped up in the Old Firm and scored a pair of league hat-tricks en route to 15 goals in 41 appearances.

Bojan Miovski: £26,000 per week

Success with Aberdeen earned Bojan Miovski a move to Girona, but he never really made his mark in Spain. The Macedonian returned to Scotland with Rangers in 2025, scoring 13 goals in 41 appearances.
