The transfer window is up and running but there are some deals clubs will not want to entertain.
Steven Naismith has been quick off the mark at Hearts and a host of early deals has his side primed for Premiership action, plus matches in the Europa League or Europa Confernence League.
Hibs meanwhile are rebuilding under new head coach David Gray. More incomings are expected and exits could also happen as he looks to get his side ready for improving upon a bottom six finish last term. There will be different battles all over the division from the Rangers and Celtic title fight to who takes the European places, and the battle at the bottom.
Each club has a top player, one they should look to avoid selling should they want to achieve their objectives short-term, and in the long run they would stand to benefit from extended stays. Looking at a player from each club, we pick 12 stars who fall into that category.
9. Rangers - James Tavernier
Amid an Ibrox clearout, nobody is that safe from the axe. Rumours of Saudi are rife but the old tale of you don't know what you have until it's gone would be very evident with Tavernier. Bailed his side out on several occasions and needs support from others around him, not to be made an easy target for criticism. | Getty Images
10. Ross County - Simon Murray
Social media has him linked with a couple of Premiership rivals. Off the back of one of his best seasons, you can't allow your star striker to go to another club in Scotland. | SNS Group
11. St Johnstone - Nicky Clark
The first choice would have been Mitov, who's gone to St Johnstone. Then it would have been Dan Phillips, also confirmed to be leaving. Not a huge amount of options in the Saints squad but Clark has shown time and time again his enduring class when fit. | SNS Group
12. St Mirren - Mark O'Hara
Baccus and Strain have gone, with Gogic sticking around after signing a new deal. Injuries hit him a bit last season but an in-form O'Hara ranks with any midfielder in the Premiership. A valuable asset Stephen Robinson will be keen to keep fit. | SNS Group
