Heart of Midlothian are hopeful of concluding the signing of Falkirk winger Calvin Miller in the next 48 hours.

The Tynecastle club have been in discussions with their Scottish Premiership rivals and are close to agreeing a transfer for the 28-year-old, who had been linked with a move to Celtic earlier in the season.

Miller, who is under contract until next summer, scored nine goals in 47 appearances as he helped Falkirk finish sixth in their first season back in the top flight.

The former Scotland youth winger had played a pivotal part in the Bairns’ back-to-back promotions from League 1 to the Premiership.

He started his career with Celtic and has featured for Dundee, Ayr United, Greenock Morton as well as spells with Harrogate Town, Notts County and Chesterfield.

Hearts have already signed winger Josh McPake as his contract runs out with St Johnstone, along with Lincoln City centre-half MJ Kamson-Kamara and Versailles midfielder Tom Renaud.

Falkirk last week signed 18-year-old winger Paul McGovern from Glenavon on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
