Which SPFL players will leave at the end of their contract - Hibs, Ross Coutny and St Johnstone latest to confirm player exits

The players who are set to leave their club at the end of their contract

The situation in Scottish football is becoming clear as clubs release a raft of players ahead of an uncertain summer.

Dunfermline Athletic hit the headlines when they confirmed that 17 players would be leaving after the club revealed they are not in a position to offer new deals without knowing then they would be playing again in front of fans.

Pars chairman Ross McArthur told the Daily Mail: “The truth is that I have no certainty at all in terms of when we will be playing football again.

“We are looking at a broad range of dates and some of the boys could land up at other clubs in the Championship who are direct competitors. But that's just a risk that I have to take.”

Kilmarnock midfielder Gary Dicker has spoken about the guilt at being kept on while so many players are being freed.

With more clarity, clubs will be able to start looking ahead to next season and signing players but that doesn’t seem certain in the coming days.
