It is hard to remember a time where it felt the transfer window wasn’t open. With the coronavirus pandemic and uncertainty around the transfer market it has led to a prolonged period of speculation and rumour. We are approaching the end in Scotland, and the 12 top-flight sides have had plenty time to shape their squads.
There is under three weeks remaining for any final tweaks to be made. Most teams look, on paper, in decent enough shape. For some, however, the coming days and weeks could prove crucial for the season ahead.
With that in mind we have looked at one area where clubs may well look to strengthen before the window shuts next month.
5. Hibernian - centre-midfield
Jack Ross may have added Stephen McGinn but fans will be hoping for another body in the middle of the park. Missing out on Ross McCrorie is a huge blow considering the impact he has had at Aberdeen. A similar mould to provide greater presence alongside Alex Gogic would be a huge boost. Photo: Ross Parker - SNS Group
6. Kilmarnock - winger
The signings of Youssouf Mulumbu and Aaron Tshibola has added greater spark to Killie in the transition from midfield to attack. They are, however, still lacking that Jordan Jones figure out wide, someone a little bit different, a bit off the cuff. Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group
7. Livingston - striker
It is essential Livi add to their strike force. With Lyndon Dykes gone and Anthony Stokes also departing after just a few weeks, the West Lothian side are desperately short. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
8. Motherwell - centre-back
With Stephen Robinson moving to a back three of late it has resulted in him playing all three of his first-team centre-backs meaning there is little depth behind them. Competition or an upgrade would be advisable. Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group
