Ross County have been the busy boys of today’s transfer world, completing the signings of three new players, including a new club captain, however they are not the only ones making moves today.
Motherwell and Livingston have also strengthened, while Rangers are closing in on another two players and Celtic have had a bid rejected for one of their top summer targets.
Then there is the news from south of the border where Liverpool could add another three players and Christian Benteke is an awfully popular man.
Here’s a quick round up…
