Former Aberdeen defender Calvin Ramsay is set to join Kilmarnock on loan for the rest of the season.
Ramsay returned to Liverpool earlier this month after his season-long loan spell at Wigan Athletic was cut short.
The 21-year-old made only 12 appearances during his time with the Latics.
St Johnstone were understood to be keen to bring the defender back to Scottish football.
But, according to a report in the Daily Record, Kilmarnock are close to completing a deal for the former Don to link up with ex-Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes at Rugby Park.
Frustrating times south of the border
Aberdeen youth academy graduate Ramsay has endured a frustrating time since signing for Premier League giants Liverpool in summer 2022.
The Dons secured an initial £4.2million for Ramsay with the potential of an additional £2.5m in add-ons.
It was a then club record transfer fee for Aberdeen as the right-back penned a five-year deal under then Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.
The deal also includes a 17.5% sell-on clause.
Ramsay made his Liverpool debut as a late substitute in 2-0 Champions League win against Napoli in November 2022.
He also made his Scotland debut the same month in a 2-1 friendly defeat against Turkey.
But Ramsay, who has made only two appearances for Liverpool, has suffered a number of injury issues since making his move to Anfield with loan spells at Preston North End, Bolton and Wigan.
