The transfer window is now closed following another dramatic deadline day in the Scottish Premiership, with Celtic, Rangers, and Aberdeen all making big-money moves on Monday.
However, there’s no doubting that Celtic fans have been left feeling a little short-changed, with no striker coming in the door, and Adam Idah joined Swansea City for a reported fee of £6million. For Brendan Rodgers, the free agent market may be his last hope of adding to his frontline. The likes of Rangers, Hearts, and Hibs are surely scouring the market too, with bargains still to be had for players out of contract.
But who are the best players currently available to Scottish Premiership clubs as free agents? Here, The Scotsman looks at 15 of the best free agents still able to move clubs, including a former £40million Champions League winner, and an 18-goal hotshot midfielder...
5. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Linked to Birmingham City earlier in the window, the former Liverpool and Arsenal midfielder had his contract at Besiktas terminated last week. His wages could prove an issue, but at just 32, the former England international's quality would add plenty to many Scottish Premiership sides. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
6. Hakim Ziyech
The Moroccan forward cost Chelsea €40 million just over five years ago, winning the Champions League in 2021, but finds himself without a club after departing Al-Duhail in May. Linked with a return to Ajax on deadline day, that moves appears to have fallen through, meaning he is available for free. Still just 32. | Middle East Images/AFP via Getty Photo: Getty Images
7. Josh Brownhill
Scored 18 goals from midfield as Burnley won promotion back to the English Premier League last season, and was quickly linked to Celtic. Rumours of a move north of the border have evaporated recently, though, and Brownhill reportedly turned down a move to Leicester City and Wolves on deadline day. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
8. Christian Eriksen
Eriksen is still without a club after he left Manchester United as a free agent in the summer. He has been linked to both Celtic and Rangers, while Wrexham are said to have explored a possible transfer. Still just 33, his wages could be tricky, but the Dane remains a playmaker with bags of talent and experience. | Manchester United via Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
