Scottish Premiership players are increasingly proving their quality internationally, with over 20 featuring in World Cup squads. Celtic's Alistair Johnston has been a constant for Canada, while teammate Auston Trusty scored for the USA. Rangers' Nicolas Raskin's impact off the bench for Belgium and Thelo Aasgaard's goal for Norway further highlight this trend.

Elijah Just of Motherwell was a surprise standout, netting three goals for New Zealand, intensifying speculation about his future. Celtic is bracing for bids for Daizen Maeda, and Rangers' Raskin is attracting interest from clubs like Hull City and Bologna. This growing attention signals increased respect for the Scottish league's talent pool.

Clubs like Motherwell and Hearts are demanding higher fees, with Motherwell potentially seeking a figure over £4 million for Just, mirroring their record sale of Lennon Miller. Hearts is reportedly asking up to £8 million for Claudio Braga. These clubs are setting higher valuations, indicating a shift from previous undervaluation of Premiership talent.

This trend extends to other clubs, with Hibernian and Aberdeen also securing significant transfer fees. While still modest compared to elite European clubs, the Scottish Premiership is demonstrating its capability to develop and sell valuable players, forcing top leagues to take notice.
