Hearts have sounded out Norwich City about the possibility of signing Steven Naismith – and could yet beat Rangers to the punch.
Craig Levein is undertaking a massive January rebuilding project and, having confirmed the loan signing of young Manchester United left back Demetri Mitchell, is eager to add experience at the top end of the team.
Scotland international Naismith, now 31 and completely out of the first-team picture at Carrow Road, has openly touted himself for a move back to Ibrox and even floated the idea of playing for free until the end of the season.
