They look set to be joined by another Japanese star in the form of Tomoki Iwata and Korean striker Cho Gue-sung – although Oliver Abildgaard could return to Rubin – and the futures of Josip Juranovic and Giorgos Giakoumakis both up in the air.

Across the city at Rangers, Michael Beale has been promised that the Gers will move for the “right player at the right price”.

He’s promised to assess the squad he has at his disposal first, though, and is keen to tie up Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent on long-term deals.

Hearts boss Robbie Neilson is bracing himself for interest in Aussie World Cup star Kye Rowles and may have to bring in a goalkeeper after the horror injury suffered by Craig Gordon.

Hibs could face losing Ryan Porteous six months early after he indicated he wouldn’t be signing a contract extension while clubs across the land must work out whether they need to strengthen for the second part of the season.
