Jack Ross is poised to return to football as the manager of Dundee United following Tam Courts' exit from the club.
Courts left Tannadice by mutual agreement on Tuesday after spending the week locked in talks with Rijeka, although the Croatian club appear set to look elsewhere to fill their vacancy.
Aware of the Fifer's desire to seek a new challenge, United had already put the wheels in motion to find a replacement - with former Hibs boss Ross believed to be the only name in the frame. All being well, he will be officially unveiled in the coming days, his return to the dugout coming six months after he was sacked at Easter Road.
