ian1964 10,447 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I posted this in the football chat,but thought I'd put it in here: As the SPL enters its post-split phase, there are still more than 100 players who are out of contract come the end of May. In January, STV revealed the 143 players who were free to find a new club under Bosman rules as they entered the final six months of their deals. Since then 16 new contracts have been handed to stars, 14 players have left their clubs and five have arranged free transfers this summer. That still leaves 125 who are out of contract, with that number including youngsters who have graduated to the first team of the club since the turn of the year. Relegation-haunted Dundee remain the side with the most players due to depart â?? 26 of their squad are out of contract. Ross County have 16 players coming to the end of deals and St Johnstone have 15. The list also includes 23 players who are on loan and due to return to their parent clubs at the end of the campaign. Aberdeen Out of Contract: Isaac Osbourne, Gary Naysmith, Chris Clark, Gavin Rae, Rory Fallon, Rob Milsom, Josh Magennis, Mitch Megginson New deal: Russell Anderson, Danny Rogers Pre-contract: None Left: Ryan Fraser (Bournemouth), Jason Brown (Ipswich) End of loan: None Celtic Out of contract: Paddy McCourt, Thomas Rogne New deal: None Pre-contract: None End of loan: Viktor Noring (Trelleborgs FF), Rami Gershon (Standard Liege), Miku (Getafe) Dundee Out of contract: Brian Easton, Gary Irvine, Stephen Oâ??Donnell, Mark Kerr, John Baird, Kevin McBride, Jim McAlister, Mark Stewart, Ryan Conroy, Nicky Riley, Neil McGregor, Steven Milne, Iain Davidson, Matt Lockwood, Carl Finnegan, Davide Grassi, Kyle Benedictus, Rab Douglas, Jamie McCluskey, Declan Gallagher, Martin Boyle, Graham Webster, Alex Baird, Steve Simonson, Don Cowan, Andy Barrowman New deal: None Pre-contract: None End of loan: Colin Nish (Hartlepool), Lewis Toshney (Celtic) Dundee United Out of contract: Jon Daly, Willo Flood, Barry Douglas, Steve Banks, Rory Boulding, Marcus Tornstrad New deal: None Pre-contract: None End of loan: None Hearts Out of contract: Andy Webster, Darren Barr, Marius Zaliukas, Danny Grainger, Dylan McGowan, Arvydas Novikovas, Gordon Smith, Fraser Mullen, Callum Tapping New deal: Scott Robinson, Kevin McHattie, Brad McKay, Jack Hamilton, Dale Carrick Pre-contract: None Left: Andy Driver (Houston Dynamo), Ryan McGowan (Shandong Luneng Taishan) End of loan: Danny Wilson, Michael Ngoo (both Liverpool) Hibernian Out of contract: Kevin Thomson, David Wotherspoon, Alan Maybury, Pa Kujabi, Shefki Kuqi, Gary Deegan, Sean Murdoch, Jordon Forster New deal: Lewis Stevenson Pre-contract: Eoin Doyle (Chesterfield) Left: Ivan Sproule (Ross County), Danny Galbraith (Limerick) End of loan: Leigh Griffiths (Wolverhampton), Jorge Claros (Motagua), Ryan McGivern (Manchester City), Matt Done (Barnsley) Inverness Out of contract: Nick Ross, Andrew Shinnie, Owain Tudur-Jones, Aaron Doran, Shane Sutherland, David Raven, Gavin Morrison, Scott Mathieson New deal: Gary Warren, Ross Draper Pre-contract: Antonio Reguero (Kilmarnock) End of loan: Philip Roberts (Arsenal), Charlie Taylor (Leeds United), Jordan Gibbons (QPR) Kilmarnock Out of contract: Mohamadou Sissoko, Borja Perez, Garry Hay, James Dayton, Anssi Jaakkola, Ryan Oâ??Leary, Danny Racchi, Kyle Letheren, William Gros, Kris Boyd, Jude Winchester, Ross Fisher New deal: None Pre-contract: Cammy Bell (Rangers) Left: Liam Kelly (Bristol City) End of loan: None Motherwell Out of contract: James McFadden, Michael Higdon, Darren Randolph, Tom Hateley, Steven Saunders, Nicky Law, Chris Humphrey, Omar Daley, Simon Ramsden New deal: Zaine Francis-Angol, Bob McHugh Pre-contract: None Left: Jamie Murphy (Sheffield United) End of loan: Fraser Kerr (Birmingham), Kallum Higginbotham (Huddersfield) Ross County Out of contract: Evangelos Ikonomou, Steffen Wohlfarth, Michael Fraser, Grant Munro, Paul Lawson, Mark Brown, Scott Boyd, Mihael Kovacevic, Paul Gallacher, Iain Vigurs, Rocco Quinn, Stuart Kettlewell, Mark Fotheringham, Sam Morrow, Alex Cooper, Steven Ross New deal: None Pre-contract: Richard Brittain (St Johnstone) Left: Marc Fitzpatrick (Queen of the South), Colin McMenamin (Morton), Ross Tokely (Brora Rangers), Marc Corcoran (Stenhousemuir) End of loan: Martin Scott (Hibernian) St Johnstone Out of contract: Murray Davidson, Chris Millar, Rowan Vine, Callum Davidson, David McCracken, David Robertson, Gary Miller, Frazer Wright, Pat Cregg, Jonny Tuffey, Alan Mannus, Jamie Adams, Liam Caddis, Zander Clark New deal: Dave MacKay Pre-contract: Liam Craig (Hibernian) Left: Craig Beattie (Barnet), Kevin Moon (Alloa) End of loan: Gwion Edwards (Swansea), Michael Doughty (QPR), Mehdi Abeid (Newcastle) St Mirren Out of contract: Paul McGowan, Gary Teale, Craig Samson, Graham Carey, Sam Parkin, Chris Smith, Graeme MacGregor New deal: Steven Thompson, David van Zanten, Marc McAusland Pre-contract: None End of loan: Paul Dummett, Conor Newton (both Newcastle), Esmael Goncalves (Rio Ave) http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/d...of-the-season/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GovanAllan 0 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Shinnie, zaliukas, law, Humphrey. Hateley anyone? Would take Hateley, would rather have Higdon than Daly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Law, Humphrey, Hateley & Higdon for definate. What about Concalves from St Mirren???? If Alexander is offski, I would also take Randolph form Motherwell. ......and to REALLY throw the cat among the pigeons - Kris Boyd Some decent players available who could really add something to the team, without a massive outlay. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,283 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Can I have Owain Tudur-Jones? Cracking name! BTW, wasn't Iain Vigurs one of the better chaps in the SPL? Sidenote: you do wonder why all these SPL teams have that many contracts running out? If some teams keep that up, there's hardly a team left for them next season, unless they fill it with other freebies. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder if some of these clubs only offer 1 year deals......then hope to get them to resign before the contract expires - probably depending on how the team is doing. Motherwell for example have done very well this season....I would imagine some of the out of contract players may well want to stay & see how things go next year. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One year deals easier to budget for would be my guest. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
