Don't look now but it's nearly April and that means it's well and truly pre-contract season up and down the SPFL.
There is still plenty of the season left to play but players have been free to speak with new clubs for three months now and for many negotiations will be well underway to tie their future up early - particularly with the international break offering a pause from match action for some. There will be some players quite happy to run the clock down and see where the land lies come May, hoping to impress in the closing stages of the season and put themselves in the shop window, while others will be anxious to wrap it up early and avoid the indignity of an uncertain summer.
Virtually every club in the Premiership has at least one player they are sweating the future over and for the players in question decision time is fast approaching. Here at Record Sport, we've taken a look at 12 of the best performing players who are out of contract in just a few months time, and ranked them on their chances of landing a big move - or a handsome new deal at their current club.
