With the January transfer window on the horizon in the Scottish Premiership, a host of players will be wondering what the future holds for them as they enter the final six months of their contracts.
Several Celtic, Rangers, Hibs and Hearts player will enter the new year knowing they are free to discuss pre-contract agreements with clubs outside of Scotland, while some clubs could eye early cut-price deals for players who are reaching the end of their deals.
Some may opt to stay, as clubs look to tie down their prized assets and others will see contract extensions activated by their respective teams, while others will depart for pastures new.
But who are the best Scottish Premiership out of contract in the summer of 2025?
9. Lyall Cameron - Dundee
The Scotland under-21 international is growing in stature by the game and has eight goal contributions at Dens Park this season. Dundee's prized asset will definitely court interest with his contract due to expire in the summer, though Dundee will be due compensation provided they offer him an improved deal. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
10. Tom Lawrence - Rangers
The Welsh midfielder has shown some of his best form in a Rangers shirt this season, but has been too often curtailed by niggling injuries. His Ibrox contract expires at the end of the season, though the club do have an option to extend it by a further year - if they choose to do so. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
11. Jack MacKenzie - Aberdeen
His impressive form saw him receive a maiden call-up to the Scotland squad earlier this season, and he's been a regular starter in Aberdeen's strong start to the campaign. His current deal ends in the summer, though the club are hopeful of tying him down for longer with head coach Jimmy Thelin confirming positive dialogue has been had over an extension to his contract. | PA Photo: PA
12. Leon Balogun - Rangers
The 36-year-old has played more than he perhaps expected at Ibrox this season, with the Nigerian often the preferred partner for John Souttar. He may well be offered the chance offer a further year's experience come the summer, but there's been no news on a potential extension at present. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
