Ross County chairman Roy MacGregor says manager Jim McIntyre is going nowhere following interest from Dundee.
The Dens Park club had targeted McIntyre as a potential successor to Neil McCann, who decided against making his interim stint as manager permanent.
MacGregor will not entertain any approach for McIntyre, who led the Staggies to the League Cup in 2016, should the Dark Blues come calling.
MacGregor said: “We have had no approach and we won’t welcome any approaches.
“He is not interested, he’s doing a job and he’s halfway through that.
“We want to make it very clear, with no ambiguity, that he’s going nowhere.”
Dundee had expected McCann to take the job after he guided the club to safety after replacing Paul Hartley, however he instead opted to return to his television work.
Dundee have approached St Mirren for permission to speak to manager Jack Ross.
