Celtic see off Rangers in radical top 100 transfer power rankings but Aberdeen misfires lead to mortifying slide

The numbers have been crunched and Premiership clubs have been given an estimate on where they lie when it comes to the world's best.

Celtic and Rangers are undoubtedly Scotland's top two and their Champions League group stage involvement this season only cements that. Hearts are emerging as the undisputed third force with Aberdeen and Hibs vying for such position, while the rest look to climb the ladder as high as they can, like David Martindale's European-chasing Livingston.

New research from Opta has allowed a Power Rankings list on nearly 13,500 domestic football teams to be published, rating them from 0 to 100, where zero is the worst score. Bayern Munich, Man City and Liverpool make up the top three and you have to reach slot 57 to find Celtic on a score of 85.4. Rangers also make the top 100, coming in at 84 on 83.5. It's a long way down to find Hearts, however.
