Football clubs in Scotland will have until February 3 to bring in players this winter, with the transfer window staying later than is normal.

The 2025 winter transfer window will open on the usual date of January 1 - a week on Wednesday - but this year clubs will have slightly longer to do their business, with the deadline for deals set for 11pm on Monday, February 3.

This mirrors arrangements across the rest of the United Kingdom and other major leagues such as Spain’s La Liga, Italy’s Serie A, Germany’s Bundesliga and France’s Ligue 1.

January 31 falls on Friday next year, ahead of a busy weekend of domestic football, and there are currently no Scottish football fixtures slated for February 3. By comparison, the 2024 winter transfer window closed on Thursday, February 1.

As per usual regulations, clubs will be able to push transfers back a further hour as long as they submit certain pieces of paperwork and a deal sheet before the 11pm deadline on February 3.

Celtic were the big movers in this year’s winter window, signing German forward Nicolas Kuhn for nearly £3 million from Rapid Vienna and Irish striker Adam Idah on loan from Norwich City. Rangers were also active, landing Oscar Cortes and Mohamed Diomande on loan from Lens and FC Nordsjaelland respectively, while Hibs brought in a host of players such as Luke Amos, Nathan Moriah-Welsh, Elizear Mayenda, Emiliano Marcondes and Myziane Maolida.

One Premiership club has already done business ahead of the January window, with Mexican Under-20s midfielder Cesar Garza arriving at the start of next year on loan from the Dees’ partner club CF Monterrey.
