Jamie McGrath: St Mirren 'accept' Hibs offer which involves Alex Gogic

Hibs have reportedly had a bid for St Mirren midfielder Jamie McGrath accepted.

The Daily Record reports the Capital club have submitted an offer of £150,000 plus Alex Gogic. It would see the Irish international make the switch to Easter Road before the close of the transfer window with the out-of-favour Cypriot moving to Paisley.

Hibs made a late attempt to land McGrath at near the end of the summer window but their £350,000 offer, plus Scott Allan and Drey Wright was deemed unacceptable by the Buddies.

Shaun Maloney is keen to reinforce his attacking options following the departure of Martin Boyle to Al-Faisaly for £3million.

After Saturday's 3-2 home loss to Livingston he talked about adding pace and a player who has the ability to beat players in one v one situations.

He said: “We'll definitely be working hard to try and bring that player in because when a team goes man for man like Livingston did, especially once Demetri [Mitchell] started to fatigue, we really didn't have anyone with that speed and that's when you have to try and pass through.”

Aberdeen were keen to sign the 25-year-old on a pre-contract agreement, however that move stalled before the Dons pulled the plug on their offer when the midfielder considered other options in England.

St Mirren boss Jim Goodwin recently left McGrath out of the squad with transfer speculation taking its toll on the player. He returned to the starting line-up for the recent midweek win over the Dons.

He has scored three goals in 22 appearances this season after 17 last season.
