Dundee United are set to land Jamie McGrath as the club secure a massive boost with the countdown on for their crucial Europa Conference League qualifier.
Jack Ross ’s men are close to completing the capture of the Wigan Athletic midfielder on-loan for the rest of the season with a deal expected to be finalised within the next 24 hours. That could see McGrath could go into their squad for Thursday night’s first leg with AZ Alkmaar at Tannadice as the club look to make the group stage of the Conference League.
The Republic of Ireland international was Ross’s top target this summer and the club pushed all the way to get him, even when it looked like McGrath would be heading elsewhere. The former Hibs boss came close to signing McGrath when he was at Easter Road but they failed to get the other half of the swap deal agreed with St Mirren before the window slammed shut on deadline day.
