Dundee United youngster Chris Mochrie is set to join Dunfermline on loan.
The Tangerines fought off competition from League One rivals Falkirk and Airdrie, who both registered an interest in the gifted 19-year-old.
Mochrie has already made 21 senior appearances for United and opened his account in a Premier Sports Cup win over Elgin City last season.
The promising attacking midfielder also enjoyed a fruitful spell at Montrose in 2020/21, notching two goals and three assists in 24 outings.

Mochrie, who made his United debut at the age of 16, is expected to go straight into the Pars squad for Saturday’s encounter against FC Edinburgh.
Barring any unforeseen hitches, he will become Dunfermline’s fourth summer signing following the arrivals of Kyle Benedictus, Max Little and Chris Hamilton.
Mochrie is contracted to United until 2024 and remains highly-rated by Tannadice chiefs.
Pars boss James McPake is also keen to bring midfielder Robbie Crawford — who has impressed during a trial period — to East End Park.
