Former Celtic and Wales striker John Hartson has been offered a coaching role at SPL newcomers Hamilton Academical.
Hartson retired after being released by West Bromwich Albion in January but is wanted by Accies boss Billy Reid to coach the club's strikers.
"We knew John was interested in the coaching side and we'd love to have him on board," he told the Daily Record.
"He has vast experience and it would be great to bring in someone of his calibre.
"His work and family commitments would restrict it to one day a week but the young players will learn a lot.
"Hopefully they can do some finishing exercises and benefit from a guy whose goal record and movement was fantastic."
