Neil McCann is expected to be appointed as manager of Scottish Premiership outfit Dundee on an interim basis until the end of the season.
The 42-year-old began and ended his playing career at Dens Park, retiring in 2011 then joining Sky Sports as a pundit.
The news comes one day after the side sacked Paul Hartley following a disastrous run of seven straight defeats that saw them drop to 11th in the Premiership table.
McCann's previous coaching experience includes a stint as assistant manager at Dunfermline Athletic, a position he left in April 2015.
Dundee are expected to confirm the appointment later this evening.
