Jamie McGrath is 'wanted' by Hearts, according to a report.
The Irish international who spent six months on loan at Dundee United is being closely monitored by Steven Naismith. McGrath previously shone at St Mirren which earned him a switch down south to English Championship side Wigan but has a year left on his deal.
The Daily Record reports that Steven Naismith is keen on the eight time capped Republic of Ireland international. The report states that the new Hearts boss is keeping a close eye on the midfielder who bagged nine goals at bottom club Dundee Untied on a season long loan at Tannadice. Hearts are in the market for an attacker after Josh Ginnelly's departure. And Naismith reportedly also has Central Coast Mariners winger Sammy Silvera on his wish list.

Ginelly previously opened up on the tough decision to leave Tynecastle.
The 26-year-old said: "This has been one of the toughest decisions I've had to make but after taking time to reflect I've decided it's time for a different challenge.
"I'm so proud to have played for this amazing club and I feel so proud to look back and see how far we've come over the last three years. I've made friends for life in the teammates that I've met along the way and it's been an absolute pleasure to have played alongside you all.
“Thank you to all of the staff who coached me through injuries and helped me through one of the toughest times of my career."
