Lawrence Shankland is reportedly set to be offered a new contract by Heart of Midlothian.
The striker's current deal at Tynecastle expires at the end of the season.
Shankland has been widely linked with a move to Rangers in recent transfer windows.
Now, however, he could stay in Gorgie, with Hearts set to put a new deal on the table, claims the Hearts Standard.
The 29-year-old has made 41 appearances for his club this season, scoring nine goals and assisting as many. His tally has in no manner reached the heights it did last campaign.

Regardless, former Rangers midfielder Andy Halliday recently outlined his belief that his old club making a move for Shankland would be wise.
He said: "[It's a] no-brainer.
"If it's on a free transfer and you can get him for the right amount of money, obviously, with Rangers trying to bring down the wage bill in the past couple of years.
"You'd definitely have him as part of your squad."
It remains to be seen who will be in charge at Ibrox come the summer.
Barry Ferguson is currently Rangers' interim boss, although he has only three games left in his role before the season is out.
The first of those comes this afternoon, as Aberdeen travel to Govan in the third round of Scottish Premiership post-split fixtures.
