The Scottish Premiership all time top scorers list is a Who's Who of the best the country has seen in front of goal over the last 25 plus years.

With a mix of league legends, cult heroes, and a handful of current players still climbing the ranks week-in week-out, this top 20 rundown has a wealth of generation-spanning talent – from 1998, when the first Scottish Premier League was introduced following a rebranding, through to the 2023/24 Scottish Premiership campaign today. With an impressive 222 top-flight league goals, one-time Rangers star Kris Boyd leads the pack, with a handful of Rangers players also featuring throughout. 

It's worth noting that many of the players listed below scored many more goals for their clubs across all competitions – these totals are specific to domestic league competition.

And so from Boyd to Nacho Novo, James Tavernier and more, here are the Scottish Premiership all time top scorers of the modern era.
