The SPFL have pushed back the deadline for Scottish clubs to complete their last minute deals after pushing back the end of the window to September 1.
The window has been set to close at midnight on August 31 with the countdown already to the last minute drama in the Scottish Premiership and throughout the divisions. Recent transfer windows haven't been short on blockbuster moves on the final day of the window, with Aaron Ramsey's move to Rangers from Juventus topping the late rush in the January market. Fans across the SPFL will be hoping for more of the same this time around.
Neil Doncaster has green lit the governing body to push back the deadline for those last second deals this summer, with the Premier Sports Cup taking centre stage at the end of August. There is packed card of last 16 ties pencilled in for August 31 including Hearts welcoming Kilmarnock and Celtic travelling to Dingwall to face Ross County.
Dundee United will also face off against top flight rivals Livingston, while Motherwell look to see off Scottish Championship side Inverness. That means teams will be allowed an extra 24 hours to round off their business.
The window slams shut at midnight on Thursday 1 September. Free agents can still be signed after that date if they have not previously been registered with a club this summer.
