Turkish transfer gossip is heating up, with several top Scottish players set to make a move to the Turkish league in the coming weeks. One player who has already received an offer is former Rangers midfielder Ryan Jack, who has been approached by second-tier Turkish club Erokspor after leaving the Ibrox club at the end of last season.
The Turkish Super Lig has been attracting a lot of attention in recent years, with top clubs such as Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, and Beșiktaș competing for the title. The league has also been a destination for top Scottish players, with the likes of Steven Naismith and Charlie Mulgrew making the move to Turkey in the past.
The offer from Erokspor is a significant one for Jack, who has been looking for a new club since leaving Rangers. The 31-year-old midfielder has been a key player for the Scottish national team, earning 12 caps and scoring two goals. He has also been an important player for Rangers, helping the club win several trophies, including the Scottish Premiership title.
Scottish Players in Demand in Turkey
Jack is not the only Scottish player who has been attracting attention from Turkish clubs. Lewis Ferguson, the Scotland midfielder who plays for Bologna, has been linked with a move to Turkey, with several clubs showing interest in signing him. Ferguson has been struggling with injuries recently, but he remains one of the top Scottish players and is expected to make a move to Turkey in the coming weeks.
Another Scottish player who has been linked with a move to Turkey is James Tavernier, the Rangers defender who has been a key player for the club in recent years. Tavernier has been attracting attention from several Turkish clubs, including Beșiktaș, who are managed by former Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
Tavernier has been a key player for Rangers since joining the club in 2015. He has helped the club win several trophies, including the Scottish Premiership title, and has also been a key player for the Scottish national team. The 31-year-old defender has been linked with several clubs in the past, but a move to Turkey would be a significant one for him.
Scotland’s Ongoing Deterioration Continues
The news of Scottish players making a move to Turkey comes at a time when the Scottish national team is struggling to find form. The team has been on a downward spiral in recent years, failing to qualify for several major tournaments, including the World Cup and the European Championship.
The team’s struggles have been blamed on a lack of investment in the Scottish football infrastructure, as well as a decline in the quality of Scottish players. The team has been relying on several older players, including Scott Brown and James McArthur, who are both in their 30s.
The Scottish Football Association has been working to improve the team’s fortunes, with new coach Steve Clarke being appointed in 2019. However, the team’s struggles continue, and a rebuild is needed if Scotland is to qualify for major tournaments again.

- Hearts
- Hibernian
- Kilmarnock

Transfer Windows
The transfer window is a critical period for Scottish clubs, as they look to strengthen their squads and compete with other teams. The January transfer window is particularly important, as it gives teams the opportunity to make signings that can make a difference in the second half of the season.
Aberdeen boss Jimmy Thelini has confirmed that the club is already looking for ways to strengthen his squad further in the January transfer window. The Dons have been struggling to find consistency this season, and Thelini is looking to make signings that can help the team compete with the top teams in Scotland.
Aberdeen’s Transfer Targets
Aberdeen has been linked with several players in recent weeks, including Duncan Shearer, the former Aberdeen striker who is currently playing for Cape Verde. Shearer has been struggling to find form since leaving Aberdeen, and a move back to the Dons could be on the cards.
Another player who has been linked with Aberdeen is James Tavernier, the Rangers defender who has been attracting attention from several Turkish clubs. Tavernier has been a key player for Rangers since joining the club in 2015, and a move to Aberdeen would be a significant one for him.
Scottish Football’s Bright Future
Despite the struggles of the Scottish national team, there are still several reasons to be optimistic about the future of Scottish football.

One of the most promising young players in Scotland is James McArthur, the 26-year-old midfielder who plays for Crystal Palace. McArthur has been a key player for Palace since joining the club in 2014, and he has also been a regular for the Scottish national team.
Another promising young player in Scotland is Oliver McBurnie, the 23-year-old striker who plays for Sheffield United. McBurnie has been a key player for United since joining the club in 2019, and he has also been scoring regularly for the Scottish national team.
There are also several other young players in Scotland who are expected to make a big impact in the years to come. Players such as Billy Gilmour, Ryan Porteous, and Kevin Nisbet are all expected to become key players for the Scottish national team, and they have the potential to lead the country to success in major tournaments.
