​Here is a comprehensive rewrite of your club-by-club guide to the summer 2026 transfers across Scotland’s lower leagues, including your Premiership club’s activity, and the movements of Scottish League One, Scottish League Two, and the Championship clubs. The focus is on who arrived and who departed in the specified windows, with explicit In, Out, Loan in, and Loan out sections where applicable. The aim is to provide clarity for fans and readers seeking a detailed, organized snapshot of each club’s transfer activity during the summer of 2026 (and January 2026 for Championship clubs).
Premiership club (summer 2026 window)
In: Andy Winter, forward; Michael McKenna, midfielder; Scott McGill, midfielder; Brody Paterson, defender; Stuart Morrison, defender (all moves noted as signed; some sources indicate undisclosed terms for Morrison).
Out: Harry Cochrane, midfielder; Jack Wilkie, defender; Dapo Mebude, forward; Victor Enem, defender; Ally Spalding, midfielder; Aaron Muirhead, defender; Ross Callachan, midfielder.
Loan in: None reported in this window for the club, or details not disclosed.
Loan out: None reported in this window for the club, or details not disclosed.
Scottish Premiership-related notes
– The incoming group features a mix of midfield versatility (McKenna, McGill) and defensive depth (Paterson, Morrison), alongside a forward option in Andy Winter. These signings are paired with the departure of several established squad members, including Cochrane, Mebude, and Muirhead, among others, indicating a restructuring aimed at balancing youth prospects with proven performers.
– January loan activity or temporary arrangements were not specified for this Premiership club in the provided summary, so no January loans are listed here.
Scottish League One club (summer 2026 window)
In: Gary Naysmith appointed as manager (or as a managerial addition to the staff); Ben Summers, midfielder (Celtic, loan to permanent); Luke McBeth, defender (Partick Thistle); Ross Taylor, forward (Stenhousemuir); Kieran Shanks, forward (Peterhead); Reece Lyon, midfielder (Queen of the South).
Out: The summary does not provide a complete list of Out moves for this club in the summer window, so a precise set of departures is not fully documented here.
Loan in: Harry Stone, goalkeeper (Heart of Midlothian); Owen Stirton, forward (Dundee United).
Loan out: None explicitly noted for the period, or no details provided in the summary.
Scottish League Two club (summer 2026 window)
In: Kian Corbally, midfielder (Ballymena United, undisclosed terms); Musa Dibaga, goalkeeper (Crusaders, undisclosed terms); Luke Robinson, defender (Wigan Athletic); Oli Shaw, forward (Hamilton Academical).
Out: The summary does not provide a complete Out list for the club in the summer window, so departures are not fully documented here.
Loan in: Sam Cleall-Harding, defender (Dundee United).
Loan out: None noted in the provided information.
Scottish Championship club (January 2026 window)
In: Jayden Gorman, forward (Dubai City); Bobby McLuckie, forward (Heart of Midlothian); Harry Cochrane, midfielder (Arbroath); plus a strategic addition noted as “Grant for better SEO” (likely a placeholder phrasing rather than a club-confirmed name).
Out: Matty Todd, midfielder (St Johnstone); Jeremiah Chilokoa-Mullen, defender (Wigan Athletic); Sam Young, defender (Stenhousemuir); Chris Hamilton, midfielder (Ross County); Sam Fisher, defender (Airdrieonians); Keiran Ngwenya, defender; Deniz Mehmet, goalkeeper; Tashan Oakley-Boothe, midfielder; Ewan Otoo, defender; Kane Ritchie-Hosler, forward; Liam Hoggan, defender.
Loan in: Sam Cleall-Harding, defender (Dundee United) (listed under Championship activity for January 2026).
Loan out: Kenzie Mitchell, midfielder (Auchinleck Talbot); Ollie Ecrepont, goalkeeper (Auchinleck Talbot).
Additional notes and considerations
– Some entries list undisclosed terms, which is common in transfer reporting when clubs choose not to reveal financials or contract specifics publicly.
– The “in” and “out” designations are used consistently for permanence of moves, with “loan in” and “loan out” clearly separated to reflect temporary arrangements.
– The January 2026 activity for the Championship club includes multiple signings and loan moves, indicating a busy mid-season push for squad depth and quality.
– The phrase “Grant for better SEO” appears in the January 2026 In section for the Championship club, which reads like a placeholder rather than a named transfer. If this is intended to be a real signing, please provide the correct name and move details so it can be accurately recorded.
If you’d like, I can refine this rewrite further by adding club-by-club headers, standardizing the format (In, Out, Loan In, Loan Out), and filling in any missing details you might have from press releases, club announcements, or trusted transfer trackers. I can also expand it to meet a 500-word minimum with deeper context on how each move impacts squad balance, tactical setup, and potential competition for places.
