McGinn is leaving the club after his contract expired, and the Daily Record claims that the two Edinburgh rivals are keen on securing his signature.
The 20-year-old has previously stated that he has ambitions to play in England, with Wigan Athletic and Rotherham United also believed to be in talks with McGinn.
St Mirren are hoping for £270,000 in compensation.
