Hibernian are targeting Livingston manager Gary Bollan if current boss Colin Calderwood happens to leave this summer.
Calderwood is pondering a move to Birmingham City to be Chris Hughton's number two with the former Newcastle United gaffer wanting his right-hand man back at his side.
It has been reported that Calderwood has held talks with the Blues and if he decides to depart, Hibs have 38-year old Bollan lined up.
Bollan has steered Livi back up to the Scottish First Division after the club fell to the fourth tier amidst a cash crisis in 2009 and his credentials have impressed Hibs.
