    It seems a harsh verdict from Ross there on Rangers' window.

    Obviously fans always want more investment, but clubs can't spend all of their income on players and wages.

    That being said, do Rangers perhaps need another centre-back? Is the squad deep enough to compete in the Champions League and domestically in a condensed schedule?

    Give us your thoughts...

    'Average window for Rangers'published at 20:31 British Summer Time 1 September 2022

    Ross: Average window for Rangers. With the amount of money raised via player sales, money from Europa League and now from Champions League, it seems that the investment in the playing squad has not been raised. Was expecting one or two marquee signings - disappointed.

    Let us know your thoughts @BBCSportScot.

    'No need for Snodgrass at Fir Park'published at 20:28 British Summer Time 1 September 2022

    Craig: With Callum Slattery, Sean Goss, Blair Spittal, Ross Tierney, Dean Cornelius and now young Lennon Miller in midfield, I don’t see the need for Robert Snodgrass. A striker to partner Kevin van Veen and I’m happy.

  4. 'He'll bring a presence up top' - Neilsonpublished at 20:22 British Summer Time 1 September 2022

    Here are some quotes from Hearts boss Robbie Neilson on the back of the signing of striker Stephen Humphrys.

    “It’s no secret that we’ve been looking at strengthening our forward area after Liam Boyce’s injury, and I’m delighted that we’ve managed to do so by bringing Stephen in.

    “He’ll bring a big presence up top and a lot of experience despite only being 24-years-old.

    “His goals earned him a move to Wigan and we’re confident that he can continue to find the back of the net up here as we gear up for a busy period of domestic and European football.”

    Hearts' sporting director Joe Savage told the club's website: “We’ve been aware of Stephen for a while thanks to the sterling job our recruitment team do in identifying talent.

    “Because of this, we were able to move quickly to bring him in and we’re very happy to be able to call Stephen a Hearts player."

  7. Hibs fans unimpressedpublished at 20:09 British Summer Time 1 September 2022

    We asked for your comments on Hibs' signing strategy before the transfer window closes.

    Here are some of your thoughts:

    Mark: We'd be able to sign the players we needed if we hadn't given so many mediocre players new contracts, then made things worse by signing loads of youngsters/foreign players who aren't first team level. And then there's the small matter of spending millions on the interior of the stadium - again, not a priority compared to sorting the first team out.

    Neil: Hibs have about half a side of good enough quality. It bemuses me and many other fans that last season’s players appear to be continually picked, when they are clearly not producing the goods. It’s worrying that Johnson doesn’t appear to have faith in quite a few of the players that he’s signed. I’m not expecting much from us this season.

    Daniel: Even with 13 new signings and investment we still have essentially the same core and the same problem areas as before. Too much transfer focus on the future rather than the now and we still have basically the same defence/midfield as before. To be fair though, Boyle/Youan signings have majorly improved the attack.

    Elie Youan has had a solid start to his Hibs career

    Harry: Hearts and Aberdeen have moved forward but we seem content to build for the future rather than the here and now. A long season ahead at Easter Road.

    Ian: Difficult watch for several years now. Brought in boys, presumably in the hope of making money for them in the future. No match for the big defenders and forwards playing in the SPL. Watching the Saints game, we never got to a high ball in the box and we could have nicked a goal if the manager or players learned to get someone to the back post!

    Cammy: I’m starting to get concerned if Hibs are actually good enough to be competing for Europe or even, at a push, top six. Thirteen players signed and only 4/5 are actually good enough. In the St Mirren game at one point there was only one player that wasn’t at the club last year.

    Gary: The transfer policy of signing young unproven players is going to be a noose around the neck of every Hibs manager.

  8. All quiet at Tannadicepublished at 20:05 British Summer Time 1 September 2022

    Not much coming from Dundee United this evening. It's pretty quiet in general, but not even a sniff of a rumour linking the club to any players.

    It must obviously be difficult to pin down targets when you don't have a manager. Thoughts United fans? Tweet us @BBCSportScot.

  9. Well send Devine out on loanpublished at 20:00 British Summer Time 1 September 2022

    More going out the door at Fir Park as academy product David Devine pens a loan deal with League 1 Alloa Athletic.

    Meanwhile, fellow young defender Logan Dunachie has also departed on loan, moving to Lowland League side East Kilbride.

    Undoubtedly the best Fish pun so far. Take a bow, @hochmagandy: "Fish to Hibs. Shoulda gone to Aberdeen. Fish and Scales in central defence, keeping them out their nets!"

    Hearts are expected to complete a loan deal for Wigan Athletic striker Stephen Humphrys.

    The 24-year-old has made two substitute appearances in the Championship so far this season.

    And that will likely be that at Tynecastle this evening.

    On that note, some news incoming Hearts fans...

  14. Numbers needed at Hearts?published at 19:35 British Summer Time 1 September 2022

    Injuries to Liam Boyce and Kye Rowles at the weekend have left Hearts a bit short up front and at the back.

    "We need quality in," manager Robbie Neilson said after last night's defeat by KIlmarnock.

    "If we need to wait beyond the window, we need to wait. We're missing seven or eight first-team players at the moment."

    What positions would you like to see strengthened, Hearts fans. Tweet us @BBCSportScot.

  15. Kelly set for switch to Livingstonpublished at 19:29 British Summer Time 1 September 2022

    Scotland under-21 international Stephen Kelly appears to be on the verge of a switch from Rangers to Livingston.

    Kelly was part of the first-team squad at Ibrox under Steven Gerrard, but has found minutes limited recently and was on loan on during the second half of last season. Can he kickstart his career in West Lothian?

    A good signing, Livi fans? He impressed on loan at Ross County two seasons ago.

    There it is, after leaving us hanging for 20 minutes, St Johnstone announce the signing of Aberdeen's Connor McLennan.

    The 22-year-old has signed a season-long loan deal.

    "It's great to get this move over the line," McLennan said. "My aim is to get into the manager's first team plans as soon as possible.

    "I will need to show the manager and the coaching staff what I can do and I will work hard in training every day."
