Under the plan, teams can form partnerships in a 'Co-operation Agreement' which means players who are eligible for the Scotland national team, and aged from 16 to 21, can move freely between them throughout the season.

Clubs with a Co-operative Agreement can move up to three players back and forward at any time, not restricted by transfer windows.
