WITH less than a month to go until another season of Scottish Premiership football grinds to a halt, clubs are beginning to turn their attention to the transfer market.
Loan deals were a key part of almost every top-flight outfit's strategy last summer and a total of 44 players will be returning to their parent clubs at the end of this campaign.
