There were a host of deals which went through on deadline day, none bigger than Aaron Ramsey’s loan move to Rangers. Fans of the Ibrox club, and others from around the country, were still getting their head around the Welshman with a Rangers scarf above his heads following the switch from Juventus.
While that was the biggest move, the most controversial was Raith Rovers' decision to sign David Goodwillie from Clyde. The backlash of that transfer continues with a number of the club's staff and volunteers walking about from the club due to the player’s past. A civil court case ruled he had raped a women in 2011. It is a move which has been condemned from many inside and outside of football.
Looking at on the field action, the Edinburgh and Dundee derbies both finished goalless on Tuesday, while on Wednesday night Celtic blew away Rangers with a fantastic first-half performance at Parkhead, racing into a 3-0 lead. After the break it was simply about containment as Ange Postecoglou's men top of the table with their rivals having now dropped points in three of their four games since returning after the winter break.
Another huge win saw St Johnstone move off the bottom with a late 2-1 win over Livingston thanks to an Ali Crawford winner.
