KILMARNOCK are set to land Greg Stewart as a replacement for Lee Erwin.
Striker Stewart has been training with Birmingham City’s reserve squad after being told he can leave.
The ex-Dundee frontman spent last season on loan at Aberdeen.
St Mirren were keen to take him to Paisley, but Killie have now moved into pole position to sign the 28-year-old.
Steve Clarke is in the market for a new attacker after Erwin quit Killie last week to join Iranian side Tractor Sazi.
Stewart, who started his career at Cowdenbeath, could be signed ahead of Killie’s home clash with Hearts on Saturday.
