Kilmarnock and St Johnstone are both ready to battle it out in an attempt to land Hibs striker Oli Shaw on loan, according to reports.
The attacker is a wanted man this summer and has already been touted for a loan switch out of Easter Road.
Hibees boss Paul Heckingbottom has revealed his desire to keep Shaw around.

However it is understood the 21-year-old is keen to explore his options.
And the Sunday Mail are claiming that Angelo Alessio and Tommy Wright are both interested in taking Shaw to their respective clubs if an agreement can be reached.
Both Killie and Saints are in the hunt for a striker after Kyle Lafferty turned down a potential move to Rugby Park and Stevie May's move from Aberdeen to St Johnstone went cold.
Shaw scored seven goals for the Edinburgh outfit last season however had to settle for game time off the bench most of the season.
