List of foreign Scottish Premiership players

This is a list of foreign players in the Scottish Premiership, which commenced play in 2013. The following players meet both of the following criteria:

  1. Have played at least one Scottish Premiership game. Players who were signed by Scottish Premiership clubs, but only played in lower league, cup and/or European games, or did not play in any competitive games at all, are not included.
  2. Are foreign, i.e., outside Great Britain and Ireland, determined by the following:
A player is considered foreign if his allegiance is not to play for the national teams of Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland.[a]

In bold: players who have played at least one Scottish Premiership game in the current season (2023–24), and are still at a club for which they have played. This does not include current players of a Scottish Premiership club who have not played a Scottish Premiership game in the current season.
