Hearts have pipped rivals Rangers to the loan signing of Norwich striker Steven Naismith.
The 29-year-old is out of favour at Carrow Road and will sign a loan deal until the summer.
Rangers were tipped to bring their former striker back to Ibrox but have been beaten by Hearts, Sky Sources understand.
Naismith, who has 45 international caps for Scotland, is expected to travel to Edinburgh on Thursday for a medical.
Hearts are hopeful of having international clearance in time to have the 29-year-old registered to play in Sunday's Scottish Cup tie against rivals Hibernian, live on Sky Sports.
