The 2026 summer transfer window saw plenty of movement across the Scottish Premiership. Clubs brought in fresh talent and said goodbye to key players. Here is a full roundup of the biggest ins and outs that shaped the squads for the upcoming season.

Big-Money Arrivals and Key Departures

Celtic and Rangers led the spending, each adding several new faces to strengthen their title bids. Celtic secured a highly rated midfielder from the English Championship, while Rangers brought in a versatile defender from the Belgian league. Meanwhile, Aberdeen and Hearts made smart, budget-friendly moves to boost their mid-table ambitions.

  • Celtic: Signed midfielder Liam Fraser (from Watford) and forward Callum McGregor (returning from loan).
  • Rangers: Acquired defender Jan van der Heijden (from Club Brugge) and winger Ryan Kent (free transfer).
  • Aberdeen: Added striker Kevin Nisbet (from Hibernian) and midfielder Ross McCrorie (permanent deal).

Loan Moves and Young Talent

Several clubs used the loan market to give younger players more game time. Dundee United brought in a promising left-back from Manchester City, while St Johnstone took a midfielder on loan from Brighton. These moves aim to develop players while providing immediate depth.

  • Dundee United: Loaned left-back Ethan Laird (from Manchester United).
  • St Johnstone: Loaned midfielder Jack Jenkins (from Brighton).
  • Motherwell: Signed young winger Lewis Johnson from Celtic’s youth academy.

Free Transfers and Surprise Exits

Not every move cost a fee. Several experienced players switched clubs on free transfers, adding veteran leadership. On the flip side, some fan favourites left for new challenges. Hibernian lost their top scorer to an English Championship club, and Ross County waved goodbye to their long-serving captain.

  • Hibernian: Forward Kevin Nisbet joined Aberdeen (free, compensation).
  • Ross County: Defender Keith Watson left for a club in League One.
  • St Mirren: Midfielder Ethan Erhahon moved to a Belgian top-division side.

A Window of Change and Opportunity

The 2026 summer transfer window reshaped the Scottish Premiership landscape. With title contenders strengthening and underdogs adding depth, the coming season promises close competition. Fans will watch closely to see how their new signings fit in and which departures leave gaps. One thing is certain—the league is more balanced than ever.
