Have they exceeded your past perception of their long-term prospects when they left the club? Or have they become the type to fail to live up to your potential? Sometimes it’s just nice to know a player has landed on their feet, whether it’s one who brought many happy memories or those who, while they may have struggled at your team, always looked like they were giving it their everything.
There have been many former Jambos on the move over the course of the current transfer window so far. We have found 17 players, though this didn’t include those who made the switch from one non-league team to another, as is sure to have happened below the SPFL level several times over, and those who only left Tynecastle this past summer.
