Where does your team need to strengthen in the second half of the season?
Three new additions have been made by Celtic, including defenders Tomoki Iwata and Alistair Johnson.
Rangers' Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent, Ryan Porteous of Hibs, and Motherwell's Stephen O'Donnell are all free to talk to other clubs in the final six months of their contracts, so will they be sold in January?
At the halfway point of the season, how much business will Ross County and Dundee United have left?
We asked supporters from every club in the league to give their assessment of the season so far, and who they would like to see join this month.
There is a red point of view.
Aberdeen's start to this season hasn't changed much from the last one.
Even though the home form has been exciting, scoring goals and taking maximum points at home should be commonplace for any successful Aberdeen team.
Lack of self-belief and away troubles plague the Dons side. Recent performances against Celtic and Rangers have copped a lot of criticism and two wins on the road makes for grim reading.
There isn't any evidence that this Aberdeen team can string together a few wins in a row to get us in the top half of the table.
There are major concerns over the mentality of this Dons side and if they will be able to take advantage of the situation they are in.
If the rest of the league is as inconsistent as Aberdeen is, they will not be able to get back into European football.
The key player is Luis 'Duk' Lopes.
There will be at least two defensive signings.

It's difficult to be critical of a team who have won every game so far. The Celts feel that the team can and will improve further. The majority of the games we've played this season have been close.
The coach wants his teams to peak at the end of the season. In the spring of last season, we saw that and I expect it to happen again this year.
His recent form has led to criticism from some supporters, but it's hard to overlook his contribution to the Scottish league. He's scored in close games or early on. He will be the league's top scorer if he can stay injury free and find a way to take more chances.
Competition is likely to be the focus of our recruitment. Many fans would like to see another player sign, as well as a goal scoring one. A lot of people were nervous about Josip Juranovic moving on, but the early signing of a new person will make them feel better.

It's difficult to be positive when your team is at the bottom of the table.
I said in the summer that I was really happy with the transfer business so far and that hasn't really changed but I still want a centre half for the right side and a pacey forward. When silly mistakes are costing us points, we might need a keeper as well.
We have had five wins this season, three of them in the league, but the Alkmaar victory seems long ago. We have been on the end of two big losses, but the less said about them the better.
The squad has quality, but it isn't clicking into gear consistently. There are changes in goal, formations, and players.
The squad needs to be strengthened in January with a right-sided defender, another goal scorer and a number one ahead of another player.
The silky Welshman Dylan Levitt is back in training and so nothing to worry about.

The season so far has been characterized by a new fixture schedule and optimism for what is to come.
The team has been hampered by injuries throughout the first half of the season.
Craig Gordon's season-ending leg-break is a big blow but Zander Clark has the experience to step up.
The absence of Craig Halkett and Kye Rowles left a void in the spine of our side and we leaked more goals than would have been expected.
There is hope going into the second half of the season. Rowles and Baningime are both back to full fitness after some good performances for the Socceroos.
I think the star man would be a toss-up between two, but with an honorable mention to Andy Halliday. They would be either Alex or Lawrence.
He has been a stand-out performer so far and has maintained his levels from last season. His surging run down the left, whilst down to 10 men at home to Motherwell, won the penalty which Shankland converted to turn one point into a huge three. His name is being mentioned as the key player because of the phrase "Shankland converted".
He has 13 goals so far, which is a good return. He hopes to break through the 20- goal barrier for the first time since John Robertson, and his hold up play has been excellent.
It's going to be an interesting month. We'd like to see more of the same come January since there's been incremental growth since Joe's arrival.
Most fans want a reinforcement in the attacking areas after Boyce's injury.
The platform to progress towards consecutive third-place finishes and another trip to Europe would be strengthened by that.
The key players are Alex and Lawrence.
There is a January wish list that includes strikers and wingers.
The person is a season ticket holder.
It has not been a good season for the Hibs, with plenty of room for improvement heading into the next one.
Lee Johnson insists that we are on the verge of finding our real form despite the fact that we have just two victories in our last 10 matches.
We have had a lot of possession in our matches, but we don't have the killer instinct to convert it into points.
Having Kevin Nisbet back from injury has been a welcome boost with his showing his impact in his first game back, opening the scoring in our disappointing 3-2 defeat at I Rangers, while David Marshall has been my stand-out player of the season so far.
Losing Martin for the rest of the season is a huge blow as we aim to move into the top six and possibly a European place.
Ryan Porteous will leave in the January window after he rejected a new deal.

The squad needs to be strengthened and central defence is important for me as well.
The key player is David Marshall.
Midfielder and defender are on the list.
Laurie Finlayson is a season ticketholder.
Kilmarnock have had a mixed bag so far this season, but they are starting to find their feet.
You could argue that Killie's performances have merited a higher position.
We received a boost in September with the signing of a three-and-a-half-year extension to the contract of McInnes.
We have our eyes on cup glory after reaching the Viaplay Cup semi- final. We will be visiting the national stadium for the first time in over a decade. We defeated Celtic in the League Cup final at the end of the 2012 season.

A player who was on the fringes of last year's Championship winning squad has become this season's star player.
The former Wolves youngster has taken on Chris Burke's old role out wide and made it his own, with nine goals to his name so far this season.
There are some areas that Killie needs to strengthen. There is a need for a backup for Kyle.
Before the Northern Ireland international's ban, it was clear that our striking options weren't up to standard.
Full-back needs more defensive cover. We have two excellent young players on either side, but when either of them are not available we have had to fit square pegs in round holes with centre-backs often being forced to fill in.
The key player is DanielArmstrong.
January's wish is to have a strikers and full-backs.

Positive vibes can still be twinged with a little bit of 'what if'. The Lions have recorded impressive results over the likes of Rangers, Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen, however, have shipped a few late goals which would have added to an already excellent start.
After a great first half of the season, the key man for the rest of the season has to beJoel Nouble. Nouble has it all in the forwards. He can hold the ball up if he wants to. He can use his speed to get in behind defenders if they get too tight.
There are usually several transfer targets that fans will look at when the January window opens, however for Livingston I believe it is imperative that the club holds onto all its key assets until at least the summer. The Lions faithful would like to see an extension to the contracts of the likes of Jack Fitzwater and Nicky Devlin, as well as a new signing.
Another tricky wide man would be a positive addition to the club to challenge Nouble and Bahamboula for a starting spot.
There is a key player.
January's wish is Winger.
The Well Society has a director named DerekWatson.
Motherwell fans have had ups and downs this season.
We are seven points from the European qualification spot, but three from the bottom of the table.
The style of football Stevie Hammell has brought to Fir Park has been very enjoyable to watch. It has been positive and progressive. Before his injury, we've seen huge improvements in Joe Efford.
It will click for Stevie and the players but the good performances haven't always resulted in good results. We need to start putting points on the board after the break because we have lost a lot of games by one goal.
I think we need another centre-half with a bit of pace, a creative wide player and a goal scorer to compliment Van Veen. The return of the King was lifted by the signing of Louis Moult, but he hasn't received a lot of attention.
Matt Penney is the player that has stood out the most this season. He's quick and has a good delivery. I hope we can keep his loan.
Matthew Penney is the key player.
There is a January wish list that includes centre-half, winger and strikers.
Elaine Macdonald is known for her work with the Rangers.
Rangers fans were optimistic at the start of the season, despite the fact that the transfer window was expected to be more chaotic.
I think the period went down as a missed opportunity due to the lack of success of those who came in and the fact that the squad has been weakened by injuries. January will be crucial in setting the squad up for next season as well as trying to get some sort of success from this season.
Antonio Colak is my pick for best performer so far, and it says a lot that so few players have stood out. At a time when we've had so few options up front, we rely on his goals. Without Colak, we wouldn't have been able to return to the playoffs.
What happens next month will be dependent on how much the new management team can change our fitness for the better. I'm looking forward to seeing how he goes about trying to instill some much-needed confidence in the team despite the ridiculous injury list he has inherited. A boost will come from the return of players like Tom Lawrence.
I'd like him to bring in a new goalkeeper, Jon McLaughlin isn't the answer, and I'd love a new winger and another goal scorer because Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos are both out of contract. I think it's time for them to move on if they're adequately replaced.
There's a good argument for fortifying the entire team and there's not a single area where we shouldn't be looking to improve. To start the rebuild is the most important thing for me in the new year.
The key player is Antonio Colak.
January's wish list includes goalkeeper, strikers and wingers.
The county corner is by Ross Morren.
The attacking areas of the pitch have been the most inconsistent areas of performance. By the end of a full round of games, County had only scored six goals, compared to 15 last season. Some of the summer signings were still adapting to the demands of Scottish football, and a number of different combinations had been tested to try and resolve the inconsistencies.
The "turning point" in our performances was the loss to Kilmarnock in October, where County looked the most dangerous going forward. For the second time this season, the Staggies came out on the wrong side of a match, this time against Edinburgh, as they were beaten by a 2-1 score. We needed those performances to earn points.
Since returning from the break, there have been signs of improvement, but the defeat to Dundee United leaves us at the bottom of the table for the foreseeable future.

The key performer this season has been the man. Initially, he struggled to hold down a place in the starting 11, but after an injury to Ross Callachan, he has grabbed his chance with both hands. He thrives in the number 10 position, where his creativity adds something special to the County. He can help dictate the pace of the game with his eye for a pass.
I would like to see us sign another forward in January to compete with Jordan White. We can improve in the wide areas and I would love to see Joseph return. He was a cult hero in Dingwall last year. If an opportunity arose to bring him back to Dingwall, it would be a huge statement.
As the season progresses, I think we could use some reinforcement at centre-back as cover for any injuries or suspensions.

It is a novelty to not be at the bottom of the table during the holiday season. The players that have come in have brought back the spirit of Saint's teams of the past. There was a lack of a fighting edge at the back last season.
The signing of Nicky Clark has been the most inspiring. He has freed up Stevie May who is back to his best and is like a new signing.
The upcoming window should be a lot quieter than last January when we signed every single player. Retaining Mitchell should be the main goal. When we lost a Millwall player in January, Danny Macnamara allowed a certainShaun Rooney to get into the first team and we all know how that went. The game is funny.
There is a key player.
Hold on to Alex Mitchell.

In the past, January windows have been a place of refuge for St. Mirren. A chance to arrest a poor run of form, change an unbalanced squad or throw in a couple of wild cards to try and turn around the situation.
The season is a bit different this year. Stephen Robinson's men have 25 points in the bag and a short shopping list thanks to their home performances. Competition for places in most areas of the pitch is likely to restrict the manager's ambitions.
Key performers up to this point can be laid claim to by the arrival of summer arrivals Mark O'hara, Jonah Ayunga, and Declan Gallagher. O'Hara has been the stand-out contributor in this so-far exceptional campaign, and I think he draws the least headlines of the group.
Several players may be looking towards the door in January as a result of carrying a larger squad. Club captain Joe Shaughnessy has been reduced to defensive cover, Ethan Erhahon is earning well-deserved praise as he enters the last six months of his current contract and most likely his Saints career, and Keanu Baccus' ascension into a starting international position at the World Cup has earned him
If the Saints lose some of their defensive cover, they will need to find replacements in order to keep up with the top six teams. I would expect to see an affordable, perhaps young, defender arrive to allow Shaughnessy his move for first-team football or to free up Alex Gogic from his defensive responsibilities and take a starting place in the middle of the park.
While Greg Kiltie has grown in confidence in a deeper role in central midfield when called upon, an additional option in central midfield would be prudent in the event that both Erhahon and Baccus move to bigger and better things.
