WITH less than a month to go until another season of Scottish Premiership football grinds to a halt, clubs are beginning to turn their attention to the transfer market. 

Loan deals were a key part of almost every top-flight outfit's strategy last summer and a total of 44 players will be returning to their parent clubs at the end of this campaign.

That includes some high-profile stars who have made significant contributions over the last nine months, as well as some players who won't be missed by the fans.
