Birmingham City have reportedly taken a step back in their pursuit of St Mirren midfielder Jamie McGrath.
The English Championship club have been heavily linked with a swoop for the talented Saints playmaker this month, with the Ireland international free to sign a pre-contract deal outside of Paisley.
He has already turned down a switch to Aberdeen, the side he helped the Buddies beat last night after returning to the squad, with the 25-year-old understood to favour a move to England.
