Hearts are in talks with Kilmarnock as the club bid to appoint Derek McInnes as their new boss.
The former St Johnstone, Bristol City and Aberdeen manager has been a frontrunner to succeed Neil Critchley who was sacked two weeks ago.
Sky Sports News understand Kilmarnock will not stand in the way of McInnes – if he wants to move to Tynecastle Park.
However, Killie would be due compensation from their Scottish Premiership rivals, with McInnes under contract at Rugby Park until 2027.
The 53-year-old is expected to take Kilmarnock training on Tuesday and then be in the dugout on Wednesday as his side face Motherwell. Following that, Kilmarnock face Hearts on the final day of the season.
