Over a five year period almost all Scottish Premier League clubs have made a modest profit on their transfer dealings. As one would expect, Celtic and Rangers are the big spenders, but Hibernian have done best playing the transfer market with receipts of over £16m for an outlay of £1.5m. This reflects their policy of buying youth players and developing them.
Kilmarnock and Motherwell also sold well, each recording profits on transfers of over £2.5m.
