Dundee last night re-entered the frame for Mark Kerr's signature after the midfielder's proposed move to St Johnstone stalled.
The former Dundee United player had been made an offer by the Dens Park earlier in the summer but was expected to join the Perth club. Now, though, Barry Smith may rekindle his interest.
"It is something we will look at although I can't say too much before I speak to him," Smith said. "It might just be a case of someone becoming available. I am waiting to hear back from a couple of players so there are a few options."
Smith's hand could be strengthened by the return of his injured men after the international break. "It has come at a good time," he said. "When guys are carrying knocks, it's good to get time to enable them to clear up."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
