FIFA 21 Rating of every Celtic player

With FIFA 21’s full release yesterday, we take a look at the Celtic’s squad ratings and compare them to the rest of the SPFL.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of football fans flock to buy EA Sports’ annual FIFA football video game, with the pandemic lockdown leading to a massive spike in sales of last year’s iteration, the newest installment released Friday is likely to draw just as much interest.

While Celtic FC may have an official partnership with rival video game Pro Evolution Soccer, FIFA continues to outsell its competitor. Hoops fans looking to purchase the game will be happy to know that, as expected, the club are the best-rated within the league.

Neil Lennon’s Bhoys have an overall rating of 73 attack, 75 midfield, and 73 defending, besting the second-highest rated SPFL side Rangers’ 72/71/73 rating.
