Scottish Football Transfer Deadline as it happened: Re-live day of drama as Rangers sign Aaron Ramsey on loan from Juventus, John Souttar stays at Hearts, Celtic loan defender to Aberdeen, Hibs recruit Fulham forward, David Goodwillie makes controversial move.

The 2022 January transfer window in Scotland has been a hectic and captivating one, even before it opened.

Celtic and Hearts made inroads before the New Year with the former announcing a triple signing from the J-League, while the latter added Australian wing-back Nathaniel Atkinson.

It was a portent for a very busy start to the transfer window with Premiership clubs having taken an early winter break due to the restrictions placed on crowds. The rescheduled pause allowed teams to focus on bringing in players they resumed action in the middle of January.

As expected the market slowed down on the top-flight’s return before picking back up again in the final few days.

Now clubs have just a matter of hours to conclude their business for the month. And, despite a number of sides getting plenty of work down early in the window, there is an expectation that this could be a frantic day of transfers.

There will be a focus on Rangers and their pursuit of John Souttar. The Hearts centre-back has signed a pre-contract agreement to join the Ibrox side in the summer but they may return with a second offer to bring the defender in this month, especially having shipped three goals against Ross County.

Across the city, it will likely be about those departing Celtic, while Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen are all likely to be looking at forward players. The Dons will also be looking to hold on to teenage star Calvin Ramsay.

We will have all the latest transfer news and speculation throughout the day.

DONE DEAL: Jones signs for St Mirren

Jordan Jones has returned to Scottish football.

The winger has signed for St Mirren on a loan deal until the end of the season from Wigan Athletic.

The Northern Irishman left Rangers in the summer.

The Welshman’s move to Ibrox is edging closer.

Ramsey has arrived in Glasgow and is set to sign a loan deal until the end of the season with Juventus continuing to pay the vast majority of his lucrative contract.

According to reports, the deal includes an option to buy the player in the summer.

Drey Wright set for Hibs stay as Barker a possible option

St Johnstone are keen on signing the winger from Hibs.

That deal is unlikely, however, with Wright seen as a part of Shaun Maloney’s squad going forward.

The Easter Road club, according to Raman Bhardwaj, have held talks with Rangers over a possible move.

Dundee eye right-back

Poland under-21 defender Mateusz Zukowski has joined from Lechia Gdansk - he’ll take Nathan Patterson’s spot as right-back rival to James Tavernier.

Former Motherwell defender Ben Hall has had his contract at Falkirk cancelled by mutual consent.

The Northern Irishman was linked with a return to his homeland this morning.

Tottenham have confirmed the signing of Dejan Kulusevski - their second recruit from the Bianconeri today.

Celtic have confirmed the details of the loan deal for Osaze Urhoghide revealed in The Scotsman last night.
