Scottish Championship clubs reshape squads in summer 2026 transfer window
A club-by-club guide carried by Yahoo Sports and syndicated by the BBC lists reported arrivals, departures and loan movements involving Scottish Championship sides.
Scottish Championship clubs have made a range of reported squad changes during the summer 2026 transfer window, including permanent signings, loan arrivals, departures and ended loans.
Arbroath’s listed arrivals include midfielder Kyle Magennis from Kilmarnock, defender Sean Mackie from Falkirk, forward Andy Winter from Livingston and midfielder Michael McKenna from East Fife. Scott McGill, Brody Paterson and Stuart Morrison are also included among the club’s permanent additions.
The guide also lists six loan arrivals for Arbroath, including Jude Bonnar from Celtic, Cormac Daly from Heart of Midlothian and Dundee United pair Scott Constable and Charlie Dewar. Harry Cochrane, Jack Wilkie and Dapo Mebude are among those reported to have departed, while several other loan spells have ended.
At Ayr United, Gary Naysmith is listed as the new manager following his time at Stenhousemuir. The club is reported to have made Leon King’s and Ben Summers’ loan moves permanent, alongside arrivals including Luke McBeth, Ross Taylor, Kieran Shanks and Reece Lyon.
Ayr’s reported loan arrivals include Harry Stone, Owen Stirton, Olly Whyte, Thomas Hatton and Josh Landers. Departures listed by the guide include John Rankin, Lucas McRoberts, George Oakley, Anton Dowds and Ben Dempsey, with Jamie Hislop, Kenzie Mitchell and Ollie Ecrepont listed as loan departures.
Dunfermline Athletic’s listed arrivals include goalkeeper Aston Oxborough, forwards Olly Thomas, Trayvion Jackson and Olamilekan Adams, midfielder Kian Corbally, goalkeeper Musa Dibaga and defender Luke Robinson. The supplied guide ends partway through Dunfermline’s entries, so its complete transfer activity and wider Championship coverage cannot be verified.
