The Scottish Premiership season 2026/27 promises intrigue following Celtic's dramatic title win over Hearts. Despite the high bar set, the summer transfer window has already reshaped the landscape.

Hearts, narrowly missing a historic title, saw key figures Lawrence Shankland and manager Derek McInnes depart for rivals Rangers. McInnes has since brought in four new players, plus midfielder Cammy Devlin from Hearts on a free. Meanwhile, Celtic's Martin O'Neill returns for a fourth spell, aiming to address supporter frustration over slow transfer activity, with Kasper Høgh a potential record-breaking signing. St Mirren's Craig McLeish also takes the helm after securing their top-flight status.

Motherwell and Falkirk face significant squad overhauls. Motherwell lost manager Jens Berthel Askou and several key players, including their top scorer. Falkirk, despite keeping manager John McGlynn, have seen Calvin Miller, Filip Lissah, and Barney Stewart depart. Over 80 new players will feature across the league, with Hearts, Aberdeen, and Falkirk leading recruitment with 10 signings each.
