Scot Gardiner, the club's chief executive, held lengthy interviews with three candidates in Edinburgh yesterday and is eager to make an appointment forthwith, with Barry Smith having been sacked on Wednesday.

It is understood that Jimmy Calderwood is a contender, the former Aberdeen manager having expressed his desire to fill the role, along with Gus Macpherson, who is held in high regard for his work with St Mirren. John Brown, the former Rangers player, has also been touted as a possible appointment. All three are out of work so would be able to take over with immediate effect and there would be no issue of compensation.
