Hibs have been the busiest of the 12 Scottish Premiership teams bringing in three players so far with Matt Macey, Jackson Irvine and Chris Cadden all arriving, while across the city Hearts have added Gary Mackay-Steven and are on the hunt for two more.

There was an expectation that Celtic and Rangers could make moves in the window, especially the former who have fallen way behind their city rivals. However, neither have yet brought in a fresh face despite the expected speculation which surrounds the two clubs.

New managers in the top flight have looked to make moves with Graham Alexander signing Steven Lawless at Motherwell, Livingston’s David Martindale bringing in ex-Hearts striker Gavin Reilly and John Hughes adding Tony Andreu and Mohamed Maouche to his Ross County squad with a deal for Jason Naismith already agreed.
