The Scotland under-21 was reportedly a target of Millwall and has previously been linked to Hibs.

Alexander made two signings on deadline day, including Hearts forward Jordan Roberts on loan, and also secured Stephen O'Donnell on a contract extension.

As well as Campbell’s rejected bids rumoured interest in Declan Gallacher from Celtic and the English Championship failed to materialise.

"For me the biggest bonus is keeping our best players in the building," Alexander said. "We knew there was a possibility of them leaving.

"We turned down substantial bids for Allan Campbell. We brought in a little bit of experience with Eddie Nolan and Jordan Roberts and there's another young player on his way."

O’Donnell’s short-term deal with the Steelmen expired at the end of January but the Scotland defender elected to stay at Fir Park ahead of the summer’s European Championships.
