Latvian striker Vladislavs Gutkovskis has issued a plea to Rangers to sign him after a successful trial with the Ibrox club last month or else he will take advantage of Sparta Prague's interest instead.

Meanwhile there's potential movement for some current and former Scotland internationalists. Jackie McNamara has offered Derek Riordan a trial at struggling York City while Paul Lambert is hoping to keep striking sensation Jordan Rhodes on the books at Blackburn Rovers.

Steven Naismith also looks set to complete a move, the Everton goalscorer is on the verge of securing a £8million switch to Alex Neil's Norwich City.

Domestically, Partick Thistle are still hopeful of securing Chris Erskine's move back from Dundee United before the end of the season. It comes after Kris Doolan signed a contract extension which will see him stay at the club for a decade.

Former Motherwell midfielder Liam Grimshaw, who returned to his parent club Manchester United last week, has joined Preston on a two-and-a-half year deal.

And finally, the Anthony Stokes transfer saga has come to an end after a weekend of waiting. The striker has been unveiled in the capital as he signs on loan from Celtic until the end of the season.
