The Fir Park board knocked back the official approach from their SPL rivals but are well aware they are fighting a losing battle to keep their manager.

Express Sport revealed yesterday that McGhee has already agreed a £8,000-a-week deal, via agents, with Tynecastle chairman Vladimir Romanov to takeover the Tynecastle hotseat.

Well chairman John Boyle has made it clear he wants to keep his boss and certainly doesn’t want to lose him to one of their SPL rivals.

The Fir Park powerbroker is also well aware that moves have been going on behind the scenes but isn’t prepared to let him go without a fight.

Hearts are prepared to make a second approach but will now need McGhee to tell Boyle that he wants to leave.

Motherwell won’t give him permission unless agree to pay the £300,000 compensation fee for McGhee and assistant Scott Leitch.
