With the January transfer window on the horizon in the Scottish Premiership, a host of players will be wondering what the future holds for them as they enter the final six months of their contracts.
Several Celtic, Rangers, Hibs and Hearts player will enter the new year knowing they are free to discuss pre-contract agreements with clubs outside of Scotland, while some clubs could eye early cut-price deals for players who are reaching the end of their deals.
Some may opt to stay, as clubs look to tie down their prized assets and others will see contract extensions activated by their respective teams, while others will depart for pastures new.
But who are the best Scottish Premiership out of contract in the summer of 2025?
5. Duk - Aberdeen
Looked destined to leave in the summer but battled his way back into the starting XI. With no new contract agreed yet though, he will be free to depart in June. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
6. Chris Cadden - Hibs
Versatility and reliability make him a viable enough candidate for a new contract in Leith. However, Cadden hasn't been able to hold down a regular first team spot, nor regular position, since his arrival at Easter Road and he could leave as a part of a Hibs reset in the summer. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
7. Jordan White - Ross County
A solid performer for the Staggies since his move to Dingwall from Motherwell, he signed a new contract just over two years ago which will expire in the summer. Has struggled in front of goal this year, scoring just twice in the Scottish Premiership, meaning County could opt to move him on in the summer on a Bosman free transfer. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
8. Declan Gallagher - Dundee United
Signed in the summer of 2022, the experienced centre-half has featured regularly for Jim Goodwin's side this season following their return to the Scottish Premiership. He's out of contract in the summer though, and is yet to agree a new deal at Tannadice. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
