Inverness are keen to sign a goalkeeper on an emergency loan.
It comes after Celtic youngster Aidan Rice joined the Highlanders earlier in the season and very much impressed.
Inverness signed the stopper for one game after number one Musa Dibaga went away on international duty with Gambia, and 17-year-old Szymon Rebilas was the sole option between the sticks.

Dibaga is now injured, and manager Scott Kellacher has revealed his side will likely dip into the market ahead of their game against Stenhousemuir this weekend: "We’ll probably look to get in another keeper on an emergency loan because we can’t just go with one goalkeeper," he said [Inverness Courier].
"We’ll see how Musa is, he’ll get assessed, and then we’ll take it from there. Hopefully, he’s alright, but it was a real sore one today."
Rice very much impressed in his brief stint up north. The 18-year-old played just once for Inverness, completing 90 minutes as they drew 1-1 with Alloa Athletic.
Speaking post-match, Rice was satisfied with his efforts. He said [Press and Journal]: "It was a quick turnaround, but it was good to get the opportunity to play men’s football in front of the fans, and it was up to me to take it.
"It was a good atmosphere, so I enjoyed it.
"I was pleased with my performance. It was a case of turning up on the day and making the saves – that’s what you need to do.
"I thought the boys deserved to get the win, we played well, but it was up to us to go and take our chances."
Rice has previously trained with Celtic's first team and has been a regular for their B side between the sticks this season.
He was impressed with the quality of Inverness' squad, though: "As soon as I came in, I could see it was a really good young group here," he said.
"I came up on Wednesday and I was staying with Remi Savage. I trained on Thursday and Friday and then into the game at the weekend."
Scott Kellacher was equally taken aback by Rice's performance. The Inverness boss said: "Aidan was brilliant for us, and I was delighted for him.
"This was his first game at this level."
