There may still be around four months of the season left for Hearts and Hibs, with plenty left to play for, but behind the scenes plans are likely already underway for next season. That will involve looking at possible signings. There are a host of players in the league whose contracts expire at the end of the season who could be useful additions.
1. Craig Gordon - Celtic
The goalkeeper was heavily linked with a return to Hearts in January. Will unlikely prolong his stay at Parkhead once his contract expires as he searches for first-team football. Photo: SNS Group Craig Foy
2. Steve Lawson - Livingston
A versatile international. Impressed with his driving runs and athleticism in the middle of the Livi midfield in the second half of last season. Has made the right-back position his own this term. Photo: SNS Group Ross MacDonald
3. Stephen O'Donnell - Kilmarnock
Killie have offered the Scotland international a new deal. He has been such a big player for the Rugby Park side over the last few seasons, especially going forward. Photo: Paul Devlin - SNS Group
4. Alex Gogic - Hamilton
The midfielder has been Hamilton’s best player this season. A combative and disruptive presence. He would add a steeliness to either Hearts or Hibs’ midfield. Photo: Rob Casey - SNS Group
