There are only five days to go and clubs around the country are finalising their plans and making their mark on squads for the final stages of season 2020-21.
Scott Wright’s move from Aberdeen to Rangers has been confirmed for the summer, while Celtic are preparing to see Jeremie Frimpong depart for Bayer Leverkusen.
Hearts have filled their target-man void and Hibs have already recruited early in the month but could yet return to the negotiating table with interest recently expressed in Stevie Mallan.
Much could change over the coming days, both for short-term changes and long term plans for managers like Steven Gerrard, Neil Lennon and Jack Ross.
Here’s what – and who – is making the headlines in the Scottish Premiership rumour mill of Wednesday, January 27, 2021.
