Hamilton Academical are handed a transfer embargo until the end of the 2025–26 season due to further SPFL Rule breaches. In October, they are handed a six point deduction and a £22,000 fine for further SPFL Rule breaches, including evading the embargo by paying players whilst playing them on amateur and trialist contracts. Hamilton are dealt another blow in November, and are left directorless, after the SPFL declares that neither Seref Zengin and Gerry Strain are fit and proper to hold roles as directors. Police Scotland also investigate allegations of fraud taking place at the club. On 31 December, Zengin announces he sold his 97.5% share in the club to Rob Edwards, however, the director left in charge by Strain, Jonny Towers, refuses to leave unless he is paid £300,000, and threatens to liquidate the club should players take strike action over unpaid wages ahead of their League One clash against East Fife, the following Saturday.
