What better way to get to grips with Deadline Day than looking at what we can expect throughout the day

Hibs are weighing up a move for Swindon Town midfielder Jonny Williams.

It appears that former Celtic strike Moussa Dembele is in demand, with numerous reports suggesting Southampton have had a bid accepted for the Lyon striker.

The bid is believed to be in the region of £3m, with the striker set to be a free agent in the summer.

It’s been a bit of a saga, but Nicolas Raskin is the most likely arrival at Ibrox today. Michael Beale was effusive in his praise of the “sought-after” Belgian midfielder as he confirmed the club are getting “closer”.

Acquiring central midfielder Nicolas Raskin from Standard Liege could result in ending Sands’ loan six months early.

Hibs have rejected a bid from Wigan Athletic for their prized striker Kevin Nisbet.

Their offer for the 25-year-old hitman fell short of Hibs’ valuation of the player and he in the Highlands with the club’s first-team squad preparing for Tuesday night’s cinch Premiership match against Ross County.

One to keep an eye on today is managerless Aberdeen.

The Dons will be looking to strengthen following a poor run of results that saw Jim Goodwin lose his job.
