The Scottish Premiership transfer window closed at 11pm on Monday night, with Celtic, Rangers, and Hibs all strengthening their squads in the final hours with some big signings.
Despite the window being slammed shut, transfers are still being discussed with Celtic manager Martin O’Neill admitting he has held discussions with former Arsenal and Liverpool playmaker Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain over a free transfer move following his release from Besiktas earlier in the season. But which other big-name players are available as free agents?
Players not currently under contract with any club are currently able to be signed and registered outside of the standard transfer windows, meaning Scottish Premiership clubs may still look to do further business in the weeks ahead.
Here, The Scotsman looks at 20 of the best free agents still able to sign for clubs, including a former Liverpool cult-hero, World Cup winner, and 68-goal English Premier League striker.
13. Michail Antonio
The experienced striker hasn't played much recently after leaving West Ham United and suffering injuries in a car crash last year. Now 35, he is still looking to keep his playing career going. Has been training with Leicester City this season. He left the Hammers as their all-time leading Premier League scorer with 68 goals from 268 games last summer, and is rumoured to have interest in Italy. | Getty Images
14. Chris Martin
At 37, the eight cap Scotland international is definitely in the twilight of his career. Grabbed nine goal contributions in 28 games for Bristol Rovers last season, but left the club upon the expiry of his contract in summer and has been a free agent ever since. On a short-term deal, Martin could potentially offer a 'battering ram' type option off the bench in the last four months of the season. | SNS Group
15. Jesse Lingard
The 33-year-old former Manchester United player is back on the market after a two-year stint with FC Seoul in South Korea. A veteran of almost 300 English Premier League games, and a key player in England's run to the World Cup semi-finals in 2019, Lingard has played regular football in recent years, so match fitness should be no issue for any interested parties. | Getty Images
16. Steven Lawless
The experienced winger had his contract mutually terminated by Partick Thistle at the beginning of the week after failing to start a single league game at Maryhill this season. At 34, he's coming to the end of his career, but will feel he can still offer something to some squads. | SNS Group
