The former Hibs manager would be brought in on a temporary basis while the English Premier League side make their move to appoint Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers in the summer.

Leicester are looking for a new manager after Claude Puel was sacked on Sunday morning.

The Frenchman paid the price for a dreadful run of form, which culminated with a 4-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace.

They have reportedly made Rodgers their No.1 target and are set to stump up £6 million to secure his services from Celtic.
