Speaking to BBC Radio Scotland moments before the kick-off of their match versus Dunfermline, Lennon told BBC Scotland: “We’ve spoke to the club and we’ve spoken to the player. There’s no guarantee that we’ll get anything done but we have made our interest known.

“We are hoping that we can get something done in the next day or two.

He continued: “He’s a quality player. I have always liked himm liked him at Inverness, he was a fine footballer . He’s gone down and had a very good time at Birmingham.

“He’s available and when a player becomes available and it’s within our budget, then we have got to look at it.”
