It's that time of year again when football fanatics ponder life without their weekly - or daily - fix of their favourite game.
Thankfully the Womens' World Cup in France is perfectly placed to fill a large part of the void for Scottish fans as Shelley Kerr's side go in search of glory in France starting on June 9.
But what for the men? June without a major international tournament and no sign of a domestic match other than the last of the stragglers in the juniors can be a long month.
Which is why the arrival of the summer transfer window is like a ray of sunshine to our football-starved souls.
Make no mistake, clubs from Rangers and Celtic to Raith Rovers and Clyde will already have their transfer plans well and truly under way.
Managers will know which areas of their squads need strengthening and what players can do the job.
Many players, meanwhile, are already in talks over potential moves while pre-contracts have been agreed for a number of stars.
Kilmarnock's Jordan Jones is just one who is waiting to move from one Premiership club to another after agreeing pre-contract terms with Rangers.
Celtic are in the market for defenders and a striker. But the fact they still don't know who will be in charge at Parkhead after this season ends means transfer news has been thin on the ground down London Road way.
Aberdeen face a major rebuild with Derek McInnes set to lose up to 10 first-team stars under freedom of contract. And Hearts and Hibs too will be looking to add that bit of quality to improve on this season.
So, when does it all get under way? The registration beaks at Hampden have provided us with all the details...
When does the summer transfer window open for Scottish clubs in 2019?
The window begins at open of business on Tuesday, June 11, 2019.
Scottish clubs will have 12 weeks to conduct business as per FIFA rules but already a number of deals have been agreed between clubs and players on pre-contract terms.
Those contracts will come into play once the window officially opens.
When is deadline day for the 2019 summer transfer window?
Scottish clubs, as with most nations, will have a couple of days beyond August to tie up any loose ends.
The summer window will officially close at midnight on Monday, September 2.
Normally this would be August 31 but with midnight on that date going into the Sunday, clubs will have extra time.
