Dundee United manager Peter Houston expects to discover the outcome of his pursuit of Queen's Park left-back Barry Douglas in the coming days.
Houston has made the 20-year-old an offer but faces strong competition with Watford, Aberdeen and St Mirren all linked with the player.
The Tannadice boss told the Evening Telegraph: "I've spoken to him and shown him around the place. We've now given him an offer and I expect him to get back to me by the weekend and let me know if he wants to come."
