Greg Stewart set to join Aberdeen on loan from Birmingham City

Aberdeen are set to sign Birmingham City forward Greg Stewart on a season-long loan.
The deal, which could be completed as early as Tuesday, would take the 27-year-old to Pittodrie ahead of their opening game in Europa League qualifying.
Stewart moved down to England last summer, joining Birmingham from Dundee, and he made a total of 22 appearances in his first season with the Sky Bet Championship club.
But he now appears set to move back north, with Derek McInnes beating off competition from a host of other Scottish Premiership sides to secure Stewart's signature.
Stewart would boost Aberdeen's options out wide with the Dons having already lost Jonny Hayes and Niall McGinn from his squad this summer.
The Dons will be in Europa League action for the first time when they face either Ordabasy from Kazakhstan or Siroki Brijeg from Bosnia-Herzegovina in the second qualifying round.
