Eight SPFL free agents including Celtic hero and ex Rangers stars still up for grabs
Big names still on the scrapheap are waiting for the right call
The transfer window may be shut, but that doesn’t mean the shopping’s over as there are still bargains to be had.
Several familiar faces remain without clubs and could yet provide a timely boost for managers eager to bolster their squads.
With no restrictions on when free agents can be signed in the SPFL, out-of-contract stars are simply waiting for the right call.
From Champions League finalists to Scotland and Wales internationalists, some experienced names are ready to reignite their careers.
Here, Record Sport takes a closer look at eight SPFL talents on the scrapheap who could make a serious impact if the right opportunity comes along.
Tom Lawrence
Wales international Lawrence has yet to find a new club after leaving Rangers in the summer. Only 31, the ex-Derby County captain endured an injury-hit few years at Ibrox but was back to full fitness at the end of last season.

Another who has been plagued by injuries in recent years, McKay remains without a club following his release from Hearts. The ex-Rangers star, 30, has bundles of talent and would be a valuable addition to plenty SPFL clubs.

The versatile Mexican stopper, 29, was a key figure throughout Tony Docherty's reign at Dundee. A fans' favourite at Dens Park, Portales was expected to return to his homeland to boost his chances of playing at the World Cup but remains unattached for now.

Full-back Devine, 22, broke into the Rangers team in 2022 and was once even viewed as a potential successor for James Tavernier. But after loan stints with Motherwell and Queen's Park, the youngster is on the lookout for his next opportunity as he looks to fulfil his undoubted potential.
