A week on Monday will see the transfer window shut. Between now and then there are two rounds of Scottish Premiership fixtures to be played, starting with three today and a further three on Sunday.
This weekend gives the 12 top-flight bosses another chance to assess their squad and to decide if any last-minute tweaks are required to meet the targets set out at the start of the season. Of course, there is also the concern that a star player could be signed from a rival club or one down south or abroad.
As always, we’re sharing the latest rumours from around the top-flight – so scroll and click through the pages to see the latest news and gossip from around the web.

7. Dembele to leave Lyon?
Ex-Celtic star Moussa Dembele could be on the move. Lyon could sell the striker in the final week of the transfer window which would net Celtic a windfall. It could have a knock-on effect if the Ligue 1 giants turn their attention to Odsonne Edouard. (RMC) Photo: NICOLAS TUCAT
8. Celtic set for third DOUGHTY bid
Celtic are set to make a third bid for Alfie Doughty. The Scottish champions have been unsuccessful with two previous bids for the Charlton Athletic left-back, the latest being £600k.
