While Scottish Premiership clubs are currently focused on navigating the choppy waters of the January transfer window, there are a host of players wondering what the future holds as they enter the final months of their contracts.
Rangers, Celtic, Hearts, and Hibs all have key players who are now able to discuss pre-contract agreements with other clubs. Meanwhile, cut-price deals are also being mulled over by clubs to ensure they don’t lose their players for nothing in six months.
While some may thrash out new deals in the coming weeks, others will depart for pastures new when the season ends. But who are the best Scottish Premiership players out of contract in the summer of 2026?
13. Mark O'Hara - St Mirren
The St Mirren skipper will see his time in Paisley come to an end in the summer, if a new deal isn't agreed at the SMiSA Stadium. An important member of Stephen Robinson's squad, O'Hara has been at the club since 2022. | SNS Group
14. Nicky Hogarth - Falkirk
The young Scottish goalkeeper was a mainstay in the Falkirk team that won promotion to the Scottish Premiership last season, but has fallen behind the experienced Scott Bain since their arrival in the top flight. Out of contract in the summer, the 24-year-old could be an attractive option for Championship sides looking for a new number one. | SNS Group
15. Dan Nlundulu - St Mirren
Another St Mirren player out of contract in the summer is powerful striker Nlundulu. Signed from Bolton Wanderers last summer, he agreed a one year deal at the SMiSA Stadium and has not extended that at the time of writing. Has scored three goals for the club this season. | SNS Group
