ian1964 10,416 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 A total of 153 SPL players can sign pre-contractual agreements with other clubs this January as their deals run out in the summer. The huge group of names, many of whom are established first team stars, could walk away for free at the end of the season. While many are at the end of multi-year deals, the number is swelled by those who were only given one year contracts due to the uncertainty in the league last summer. Dundee have the most players out of contract, reflecting the fact they were only elevated to the SPL weeks before the start of the season. The Dark Blues could stand to lose an entire squad, with 23 playersâ?? deals running out. Celtic and Dundee United have the least to worry from the coming months, with just two and four players respectively coming to the end of their deals. The Tangerines will be particularly keen to hang on to their captain Jon Daly though. Among the other stars sure to be interesting scouts on the list are Heartsâ?? Andy Webster, Ryan McGowan, Andy Driver and Marius Zaliukas, David Wotherspoon of Hibs and Invernessâ?? Andrew Shinnie. Cammy Bell and Liam Kelly of Kilmarnock have drawn speculation over their futures and the core of Stuart McCallâ??s Motherwell side â?? including Darren Randolph, Jamie Murphy, Nicky Law, Michael Higdon and Chris Humphrey â?? are all free to agree deals elsewhere this January.

Gribz 743 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Im not sure if any of them are appealing and would improve our team. Would probably take Tom Hateley. Would have taken Russell Anderson a few years ago but not now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Thing is are their any on there who would vastly improve on what we have and my answer would be no, so do we really need to splash out on SPL. Maybe we should looking a little further down the leagues to start with. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him & Templeton playing would be exciting to watch I reckon. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza_8 233 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 What's Barry Douglas of Dundee Celtic like? Can't remember much about him. Is that saying something? I'd take a pop at Daly from United too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
