Inverness Caley are expected to enter the market again after snapping up Swansea City defender Steven Watt.
The Daily Record says Caley boss Charlie Christie would still like to add another defender with club officials stressing Derry City's £35,000 asking price for Darren Kelly presents no stumbling block.
Kelly and Celtic youngster Scott Cuthbert are interesting Caley, although they have yet to receive a clear indication that either is willing to move to the Highlands.
