It was another big summer transfer window for fans of the Scotland national team, with several Scottish players moving on to pastures new during pre-season.
Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour dominated the headlines last summer when they made bigger summer moves to Napoli. However, many of their international teammates have followed suit in taking their careers overseas, with the likes of Scott McKenna and Lennon Miller taking on new adventures in Croatia and Italy, respectively.
Established names such as Grant Hanley, Angus Gunn, and Kieran Tierney also made summer moves when their contracts expired in June, with Hibs, Nottingham Forest, and Celtic all snapping up the experienced pros.
Here we look at the 13 Scotland internationals who completed summer transfers and assess how they have done for their new teams in the first half of the season. Who has found success ahead of next summer’s World Cup - and who needs more regular game-time?
1. Angus Gunn - Nottingham Forest
The Scotland goalkeeper left Norwich City after a long spell at Carrow Road and was snapped up by English Premier League side Nottingham Forest in the summer on a free. He's yet to play a single minute for Sean Dyche's side though, and has fallen to third place. Did return to the substitutes bench in the 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on December 14, though. Probably needs at least a loan move. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
2. Lennon Miller - Udinese
Has yet to hit the heights of other Scots in Italian football following his big summer move to Italy. Yet to start a league game for Udinese, the former Motherwell starlet has played just 74 minutes in Serie A. Scored in the cup against Palermo back in September and, at just 19, still has his best years ahead of him. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images

3. Dominic Hyam - Wrexham
Capped once by Scotland, the experienced defender has been a sporadic feature in Steve Clarke's squad in recent years. Hyam joined big-spending Wrexham in the summer and has been a regular for the EFL Championship side, starting all but one of his side's league games. One of the highest performing centre-backs in the division, he'll hope to nab a surprise spot on the plane to the World Cup next summer. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
4. Ryan Porteous - Los Angeles FC
After dropping down the pecking order at Watford, he moved to Preston North End on loan at the turn of the year before making a shock move to the MLS during the summer transfer window. After struggling with injury originally, Porteous became a regular an important player for Los Angeles, starting every game as they made it to the MLS playoff semi-finals. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
