The Scottish Premier League is replete with professional soccer players from all corners of the country.

Let’s take a look at the leaderboard and find our favorites!
Cold numbers can’t tell you much and give you a clear picture of what’s going on. Therefore, the parsing of each soccer player should be done in context. In the table below, the numbers are averaged according to the team’s total number of assists per game and the number of shots on goal. This allows you to draw more accurate conclusions.
In front of you is a list of the top ten midfielders and wingers of the season, take a look:
| Player | Team | xG Chain/90 |
| Stuart Armstrong | Celtic | 0.914 |
| Chris Cadden | Motherwell | 0.599 |
| Tom Rogic | Celtic | 0.596 |
| Scott Sinclair | Celtic | 0.577 |
| Daniel Candeias | Rangers | 0.577 |
| Callum McGregor | Celtic | 0.541 |
| Kieran Tierney | Celtic | 0.525 |
| Ali Crawford | Hamilton | 0.518 |
| Josh Windass | Rangers | 0.505 |
| John McGinn | Hibernian | 0.505 |
You can see that five of the ten soccer players in the table are from Celtic. This is reflected in the club’s competitive results. But it is noteworthy that, although Armstrong is certainly the best, Ali Crawford should be placed after him.
This is due to the fact that the club averages fewer shots on goal than its opponent!
