.......because looking at the Bounce they have a clock ticking down to 11pm. See below copied a few seconds ago.

Transfer Deadline Day:
1 hour, 59 minutes, 42 seconds

Someone in a posts says 11pm SPL and 12pm SFL.

What time does it close for SPL teams?

11pm for SPL clubs is correct.

Why does it shut at 11pm instead of 12? Very odd.

It closes five minutes after Rangers and Celtic say they're finished for the day.

The BBC have answered my question:

2102: A reminder, too, that in Scotland it is a 2300 GMT deadline for Scottish Premier League clubs and midnight for those in the Scottish Football League. No, I don't know why either.


2100: TWO HOURS UNTIL ENGLISH TRANSFER WINDOW SHUTS

To the best of my knowledge the window SLAMS SHUT at 2300 in the SPL & EPL to fit in with the rest of Western Europe. Why it's midnight for SFL clubs, I've no idea...

Maybe it gives SPL players freed at 10:59 an hour to find a new club :wink:
