With the transfer window currently closed, attention is already turning to the summer as clubs consider which talents could strengthen their armoury in the seasons to come.
However, as so often is with modern day football, contract expirals and renewals are also likely to be on the agenda for club’s across Europe, as teams decide which out of contract players will be offered a brand spanking new deal - and which won’t.
The Scottish Premiership is no different in that regard, with several high profile names and intriguing talents set to become free agents in the summer. But who are the most valuable players set to become available on a free transfer come the end of the season? Rangers, Celtic, Hearts and Hibs all have big name players currently out of contract in just three months.
Here are the 13 highest valued Scottish Premiership stars available for free transfer in the summer from 13 to 1, as per FotMob player valuations.
5. Jack Mackenzie - Aberdeen
The Dons left-back has endured a topsy turvy season, breaking into Steve Clarke's Scotland squad earlier in the campaign after some impressive performance, before suffering an injury mid-season which curtailed his progress. Linked to Sheffield Wednesday in January, he's yet to agree a new deal at Pittodrie, with his contract up in the summer. He is valued at £330k. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
6. Danny Armstrong - Kilmarnock
Kilmarnock were reported to have rejected a six-figure bid for Armstrong in January, amid rumoured interest from Hearts. The Rugby Park outfit appear resigned to losing him in the summer though, with his contract set to expire. Valued at £363k. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
7. Chris Cadden - Hibs
Alongside his brother Nicky, the former Motherwell wing-back has played a big role in Hibs' resurgence this season. While the Easter Road club may yet agree a deal to extend his time in the capital, his current contract expires in the summer. Valued at £545k. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
8. Barrie McKay - Hearts
Penned a three-year extension with the club in 2022, but is yet to extend that further after an injury-hit 24/25 campaign. Has featured in just eight league games at Tynecastle this year, and will be a free agent in the summer unless a new contract is offered to him. Valued at £771k. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
