Scottish Premiership: Celtic, Rangers, Hibs, Dundee, Motherwell, Aberdeen, Falkirk, Kilmarnock, St Mirren, Dundee Utd seal Deadline Day signings

There were 16 signings by Scottish Premiership clubs on Deadline Day, so here's a round-up of what happened, and some deals that didn't...

We start with one of the busiest clubs on the final day of the window - Celtic. Manager Martin O'Neill saw striker , winger and defender all arrive on loan.

It remains to be seen if that will be enough to help the champions claw back a six-point gap on leaders Hearts. Perhaps former Arsenal and Liverpool midfielder could help that bid? The Hoops are keen on signing the free agent, with talks to follow.

There were three outgoings too as returned to Motherwell on loan, goalkeeper Tobi Oluwayemi moved to Leyton Orient on a permanent deal and Johnny Kenny signed for Bolton Wanderers on loan.

Meanwhile, stayed at the club. That's despite a £25m bid from Nottingham Forest, which was rejected.

Over at Easter Road, it was also three in and three out.

German wing-back arrived from VfL Bochumon a three-and-a-half-year deal, while striker signed until the summer of 2028 from Slaven Belupo, plus defender arrived from Copenhagen on loan. Heading the other way were and on permanent deals, plus record-signing , who joined Randers on loan.

Rangers wanted a striker on Deadline Day and they got one as signed from German third division club Hansa Rostock for £4.7m. The Ibrox side had agreed a £3m move for the summer on Sunday, but 24 hours later pushed through to sign the 22-year-old for the title race run-in. Meanwhile, left for Sheffield Utd and moved to Westerlo on loan.

What about the team everyone is trying to catch? Well, after four arrivals earlier in the window, it was all about one outgoing at league leaders Hearts as 18-year-old striker departed on loan to Tottenham Hotspur, with an option to make that move permanent. Arsenal also held talks for the Scotland international.

There was one outgoing from the top-flight to Arsenal as St Mirren youngster left for the Premier League leaders, while Man Utd's U21 captain joined the Paisley club.

As well as seeing return to Fir Park on loan from Celtic, Motherwell also kept a hold of , who is the Scottish Premiership's top scorer - despite interest from Europe.

Like Celtic, Dundee added three loan signings to their squad, with arriving from Lincoln City, from Birmingham City and from Monterrey.

Over the road at Dundee United, signed on a permanent deal from Israeli Premier League side FC Ashdod.

Aberdeen added on loan from Hoffenheim, while was recalled by Sunderland before a move to Schalke, plus left for Blackpool.

Falkirk added Aston Villa's on loan, while free-agent returned to Kilmarnock until the summer.
