Scottish Football Transfer News: Liverpool eye Celtic starlet, John Souttar to Rangers update, Leeds United linked with Aberdeen defender, Hibs step up winger search, St Johnstone to sign striker

The Scottish Premiership title race took another twist on Saturday with Rangers dropping two points in a topsy-turvy encounter with Ross County.

The Ibrox side led 1-0 and 3-2 but were pegged back by a 96th minute equaliser by Ross County. With Celtic scoring late on to win 1-0 at home to Dundee United it cut the gap at the top to just two points going into the derby on Wednesday night at Parkhead.

For County, it continues their decent form under Malky Mackay. With Dundee and St Johnstone’s games postponed due to the high winds, the point opened up a five-point gap to the play-off place and seven to bottom-of-the-table Saints.

Meanwhile, Hearts moved ten points ahead of Motherwell in third place with a 2-0 win over the Steelmen. Hibs, ahead of the Edinburgh derby, weren’t able to move into fourth as they fell to defeat at home to Livingston.

In the Championship, there was a big win for Kilmarnock over Inverness CT in the title race and a crucial 2-0 win for Dunfermline Athletic who are now up to seventh.

Dropping to League Two, Cowdenbeath gave themselves a bit of hope at the bottom of the table, winning 1-0 at Albion Rovers. In the league above Montrose piled more misery on Falkirk with a 2-1 win.

There are just a matter of hours left of the January transfer window with the market shutting on Monday. Scroll down and flick through for all the latest transfer news and speculation from around the SPFL.
