The long-running Greg Stewart transfer saga has finally concluded with the player leaving Dundee to sign a three-year deal with Birmingham City.
Both clubs had agreed a fee for the 26-year-old earlier this week, understood to be in the region of £500,000, however the deal hit a stumbling block after Stewart failed to agree personal terms with the English Championship side.
Those problems were subsequently ironed out and the former Cowdenbeath front man travelled to Birmingham today for a medical before putting pen to paper on a contract with the English Championship club.

In a statement, the Dark Blues said: “Dundee Football Club can today confirm that an agreement has been reached with Birmingham City for the transfer of Greg Stewart for an undisclosed fee.
“Greg signed for the club in the summer of 2014 and under the guidance of manager Paul Hartley and his backroom staff has developed into one of the best players in Scotland throughout the past two seasons.
“This was confirmed by his back to back nominations for the PFA Scotland Player of the Year award.
“Greg leaves Dens Park with the best wishes and high hopes of everyone at Dundee FC.”
