A new year can only mean one thing, the opening of another January transfer window.
Clubs across Scotland - and beyond - will get wheeling and dealing as they look to improve what they have and ship out some deadwood to make way for new stars, and this month it looks like being as busy as ever. Celtic are close to sealing a deal to bring Kieran Tierney back to Parkhead in what would be a statement move from Brendan Rodgers - and the deal could even be done in time to hand the Scotland cap his second debut at Ibrox. The Hoops are also braced for a bid for Kyogo Furuhashi, whilst fringe men like Luis Palma could head for pastures news.
On the other side of the city, Philippe Clement looked like a man who wouldn't still be Rangers boss come the opening of the January window a few weeks ago - but he's turned that around, and they will be busy looking to close the gap to their old rivals. Expect attacking reinforcements to be high up his list of priorities, whilst misfiring striker Cyriel Dessers could be moved on after a difficult 18 months in Govan.
It's a vital month in the capital as Hearts and Hibs look to pull clear of relegation danger, whilst Aberdeen will be determined to reignite their spark from earlier in the campaign - that saw Jimmy Thelin's men sitting comfortably in second in the Premiership table at one stage. Record Sport will keep you updated with every rumour, bidding war and move in what should be a hectic month.
