SOME of Scottish football's best signings have come on bosmans from Dado Prso to Mikael Lustig.

But it isn't always that way. Often your club could end up with an Egil Ostenstaad rather than a Rod Wallace and to make their job easier, Record Sport Online have compiled a list of the best signings that can be made from other SPFL clubs.

Charlie Mulgrew (Celtic)

The Celtic utility man is out of contract in the summer and could find himself leaving Glasgow for a second time.

Once a key man for club and country, his injury problems over the past two seasons have held him while Ronny Deila doesn't seem to be certain of his best position.

It's unlikely that any other Scottish club could persuade him to sign, but he would be a good signing for many English Championship clubs.

His manager made a public appeal for his agent to get in touch about a new contract this week, but so far nothing has been heard and the winger could begin speaking to other clubs in January.

After bursting onto the scene shortly before his 19th birthday, Forrest was tipped for a big future but a mixture of injury and poor form has left him struggling to hold down a regular starting place.

Still a talented wideman with a big future, Forrest could go be a good signing for many clubs.

Osman Sow (Hearts)

The Hearts forward is believed to want another crack at the game down south after failing to make the breakthrough at Crystal Palace , but he would be a good signing for Scotland's top clubs.

An impressive first season saw him help Hearts to the Championship title. He's hit 17 goals in 40 league appearances since joining.

Described by Robbie Neilson as the fastest player at Tynecastle while also standing at 6ft 4in, Sow a scary prospect for any defender.

Michael McGovern (Hamilton Accies)

Going to the Euros with Northern Ireland, McGovern has been a key player for Hamilton since joining from Falkirk.

A solid goalkeeper, he's already been linked with a move to Championship side Hibs should they gain promotion to the top flight.

But with the likes of Aberdeen needing a goalkeeper in the summer to replace loanee Danny Ward, Derek McInnes would be mad not to have a look at him.

Miguel Pallardo (Hearts)

The midfielder was excellent for Hearts in his debut season, and while he hasn't impressed quite as much this year, the former Valencia, Getafe and Levante midfielder would be a solid signing.

At 29, the defensive midfielder still has a good few years left in him for top flight football and shouldn't be short of offers for next season.

John Souttar (Dundee United)

The highly rated 19-year-old has been linked with a move to both sides of the Old Firm and there's no doubt that many clubs will be interested in securing his signature.

Starting out as a centre back as Dundee United's youngest ever player at the age of 16 years and 99 days, Souttar has since played in centre midfield as well as right back and shown promise in each position.

He turned down a move to Sunderland in 2013 after the English Premier League club had a £600,000 bid accepted.

Ziggy Gordon (Hamilton Accies)

Having come through the Accies youth academy, 22-year-old Gordon has made 118 league appearances for the club already since making his debut in 2011.

Impressing at right back, Gordon turned down a move to Polish club Jagiellonia Bialystok in January last year.

Stuart Bannigan (Partick Thistle)

Part of the Partick Thistle side that has impressed in recent weeks, Bannigan can play in a number of different positions and would be a good signing for most of the Premiership.

Capable of filling in across the midfield and at left back, the 23-year-old is a fan favourite at Firhill and they will be hoping to keep hold of the Scotland U21 cap for a while yet.

Nicky Law (Rangers)

Law was tipped for big things at Rangers when he joined on a free from Motherwell, but like most of the squad last season, the midfielder really struggled and was criticised for the Rangers support.

A new manager in Mark Warburton has seen him recover some of his form but with just six months left on his deal, he'll be worried about not getting a new contract and would be a good addition to a Premiership side.

David Goodwillie (Aberdeen)

The striker hasn't quite repeated his early career form but his move to Aberdeen has allowed him a regular run of football that he hadn't seen since his big money move to Blackburn.

His goal record hasn't been great but his work off the ball has been key to the Dons' success over the last couple of seasons.
