Hearts are set to sign former Rangers midfielder Andy Halliday.
The 28-year-old has agreed terms with the Jambos and he is now going through his medical before he finalises his move to Tynecastle.
Hearts have agreed a one-year deal with the option of a second year if they win promotion back to the Premiership.
Halliday was released by Rangers at the end of the season and has earned rave reviews for his punditry including a regular stint on Open Goal's 'Keeping The Ball On The Ground' show alongside Simon Ferry.
The midfielder has previously had spells at Livingston, Middlesbrough and Bradford City and has been happy to bide his time for the right offer to come along.
Halliday told the Record Rangers Podcast earlier this month that he was determined to find the right club.
He said: "Unfortunately for me, there's not been anything I'm eager to jump into. Either financially it's not been right or the club hasn't been right move for myself or my family.
"I've been speaking to a couple of clubs over the past couple of weeks that are only just interested so far and have got my attention.
"It's just a waiting game just, they've got my attention but putting in a bit of interest but, unfortunately, when that comes you need to stall anything else you've got in the background to see if they come to the table.
"I knew it was always going to be a slow process.
"The majority of leagues still haven't started. England have only just started, it's only really Scotland.
"And, because I'm based in Scotland, everyone thinks: 'How are you not sorted yet?'
