Scottish Transfer Deadline Day LIVE: Raskin to Rangers latest | Hibs weigh up second Jonny Williams bid | Newcastle sign Scotland Under-21 defender
Done deal: Rangers land Nicolas Raskin
Rangers fans are delighted with the capture of Belgian midfielder Nicolas Raskin on a long-term deal. He is a favourite of Michael Beale and someone the club have been tracking for a while.
The move still requires the completion of a work permit then he will be able to train with his new team-mates.
Motherwell duo exit
Motherwell have moved on defender Sondre Solholm and forward Connor Shields, the former on a permanent deal and the latter on a loan.
Ross County land former Hibs striker
Ross County have landed striker Simon Murray on a permanent deal from Queen’s Park. The ex-Hibs striker goes straight into the Staggies squad against his former club for tonight’s Premiership encounter.
Celtic midfielder departs
Celtic have moved on fringe player Oliver Abildgaard. The midfielder has barely featured for Ange Postecoglou’s side and has now joined Serie A side Hellas Verona.
Done deal: St Mirren land EPL loanee
Southampton have signed Southampton’s Thierry Small on loan until the end of the season. He provides Stephen Robinson with another option at wing-back on the left.
One in and one out at Pittodrie?
Aberdeen captain Anthony Stewart could depart the club after just six months. According to the Daily Record, MK Dons are keen on the centre-back who has struggled since moving to Pittodrie. He has been sent off twice and was part of the team which lost 6-0 at Hibs, signalling the final nail in Jim Goodwin’s managerial coffin at the Dons.
Meanwhile, reports down south suggest Aberdeen could be about to sign Dilan Markanday from Blackburn Rovers. The 21-year-old right winger was previously with Spurs who he made one first-team appearance for.
No more business at Tynecastle Park
Hearts have completed their business in the transfer market. Robbie Neilson was keen to land one more before the window shut but no move has been forthcoming. There was strong interest in former star Callum Paterson and the club will now look to sign him on a pre-contract agreement.
