While teams may be looking to bring players in or move players out depending on their situation, January also signals a time when there can be a look to the future and to those players whose deals expire at the end of the campaign.
Clubs are free to open discussions with individuals who are into the final six months of their contract. Looking around the Scottish Premiership there are a host of key players who will likely attract plenty of attention. Due to the financial climate of Scottish football their current side may not be in a position to offer a new deal yet, while other clubs could see an opportunity to get some talented stars in on a free.

<img alt aria-hidden="true" class="i-amphtml-intrinsic-sizer" role="presentation" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,»>The Dons forward has been reinvigorated this season by the change to Aberdeen's formation. He has added creativity, directness and excitement to the Dons attack.
<img alt aria-hidden="true" class="i-amphtml-intrinsic-sizer" role="presentation" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,»>The battering ram forward can be inconsistent but can also be a huge handful as Christopher Jullien can attest.
<img alt aria-hidden="true" class="i-amphtml-intrinsic-sizer" role="presentation" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,»>Has added a different dimension to the middle of the park for St Mirren after being played at left-back a couple of seasons back. A lovely left foot and brings composure.
<img alt aria-hidden="true" class="i-amphtml-intrinsic-sizer" role="presentation" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,»>Has had his form questioned by Cetlic fans this season and his worth to the starting XI. He couldn't move elsewhere in Scotland or the UK for that matter, could he?
<img alt aria-hidden="true" class="i-amphtml-intrinsic-sizer" role="presentation" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,»>The Togolese ace can play in a variety of positions. Been hampered by injury this season but is a very adept player who has played his best football as a wing-back but can also provide legs in the midfield.
<img alt aria-hidden="true" class="i-amphtml-intrinsic-sizer" role="presentation" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,»>After his Scotland performances the centre-back will likely be interesting a whole host of clubs in Scotland, England and abroad.

<img alt aria-hidden="true" class="i-amphtml-intrinsic-sizer" role="presentation" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,»>The Israeli has produced some brilliant moments this season as he usually does for the Easter Road club. One of the better Premiership goalkeepers.
<img alt aria-hidden="true" class="i-amphtml-intrinsic-sizer" role="presentation" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,»>The Englishman has been transformed under Jack Ross. From an inconsistent winger to a key cog in the centre of the pitch. Fantastic at making room for himself and is a lovely passer.
<img alt aria-hidden="true" class="i-amphtml-intrinsic-sizer" role="presentation" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,»>The centre-back has, like most of Accies squad, disappointed in recent weeks but earlier in the season was a key player when the team went on their best run. He is a danger in the opposition box at set pieces.
<img alt aria-hidden="true" class="i-amphtml-intrinsic-sizer" role="presentation" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,»>The former Hearts full-back dropped to the Championship where he became one of the league's most reliable defenders and deserved another shot at the top flight with United.
<img alt aria-hidden="true" class="i-amphtml-intrinsic-sizer" role="presentation" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,»>The forward is too good not to be playing. He showed at Kilmarnock and Dundee the attacking qualities he can add to a team.
<img alt aria-hidden="true" class="i-amphtml-intrinsic-sizer" role="presentation" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,»>A raft of clubs would likely love to add the midfield powerhouse to their squad. A fantastic attitude, incredible commitment and an abundance of quality with and without the ball.
<img alt aria-hidden="true" class="i-amphtml-intrinsic-sizer" role="presentation" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,»>The Staggies may be consigned to losing the forward. Has had plenty of interest from down south and been linked with Hibs in the past. Would be a brilliant addition to most Scottish clubs, capable of playing as a target man or a wide man. Superb work rate.
<img alt aria-hidden="true" class="i-amphtml-intrinsic-sizer" role="presentation" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,»>One of the best performing players in the league this campaign. Added consistency to his game after returning to Killie. A really smart and interesting midfielder, combative and penetrative.
