East Stirlingshire have launched an ambitious approach to make John Hartson their next manager.
The Scottish Third Division strugglers want the 32-year-old former Wales and Celtic striker to replace Gordon Wylde, who left Firs Park last week.
Shire owner Spencer Fearn said: "John is really keen and we had a great chat.
"He's going back to Swansea and we'll know on Tuesday if he's taken the job. This could be a big move for us and his first step into management."
East Stirlingshire sit second bottom of the table as they seek to avoid a sixth successive bottom-place finish.
Hartson, who won 51 caps for wales, announced his retirement last month after being released by West Brom.
The striker who began at Luton and played for Arsenal, West Ham, Wimbledon, Coventry and Celtic, said he was not prepared to end his playing career at a low level.

Billy Davies has said he is interested in becoming the new Hearts manager.
The job appeals to the ex-Derby County boss, who said: "Hearts are looking for a new manager and that would interest me - if I could pick my own team.
"They have not been one of the clubs who have spoken to me, but I'll sit back and see who's interested.
"I'll work anywhere, even abroad, I'll go back to England if something comes up or I'll stay in Scotland. I will listen to any offers."
The Scot recently parted company with the Rams, and Hearts are currently under the temporary charge of Stephen Frail.
Davies ruled himself out of the running for the Scotland job two months ago, with the post eventually being given to former Hearts boss George Burley.

Celtic's Aiden McGeady has been named Clydesdale Bank Premier League player of the month for February.
The 21-year-old Republic of Ireland midfielder earned a series of rave reviews for his displays last month.
Celtic won all four of their league matches in February, with McGeady scoring in the 5-1 win at Aberdeen.
McGeady won the same award for his performances in November and is sure to be a leading contender for the various player of the year honours.

Midfielder Aiden McGeady insists Celtic need an incredible performance to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League at the expense of Barcelona.
Celtic visit the Nou Camp on Tuesday, trailing 3-2 from the first leg.
"Getting through would be one of the best results in the club's history, considering the opposition we are up against," said the 21-year-old.
"Barcelona don't have one or two world class players, they have six or seven - to get through would be unbelievable."
Celtic warmed up for the trip to Spain with a 2-0 win at Hibs, while Barca were beaten 4-2 at Atletico Madrid.
The Catalans trail Real Madrid by five points in La Liga and have been criticised for some less than sparkling displays this term.

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan was delighted with the three SPL points claimed in a 2-0 win at Hibernian.
Second half goals by Lee Naylor and Giorgios Samaras sealed victory, and Strachan said: "I thought we were terrific in the second half today.
"I was delighted with our discipline. Aiden McGeady and Scott Brown took knocks but just got on with playing.
"The longer the game went on, things began to open up for us, and I felt we were excellent in possession."

Walter Smith spoke of his delight as Rangers recovered to secure a 3-1 home SPL victory over Aberdeen.
"We had to work very hard for our win today and obviously I'm delighted with the outcome," offered the Ibrox boss.
"We played well at the start before Aberdeen came back at us. Their goal deflated us a little, but we had a strong second half performance.
"The one thing that impressed me today was our work-rate, and the way we bounced back from a goal down."

Football's governing body Fifa has blocked Rangers striker Daniel Cousin's proposed £3m move to Fulham.
Rangers chief executive Martin Bain said he was "disappointed" with Fifa's decision, adding: "It's been a frustrating time for all parties."
Cousin, 31, had already played for Rangers and Lens this season and Fifa rules stipulate a player cannot appear for more than two teams in one season.
The Gabon striker signed for Rangers from Lens for £1.1m in the summer.
Rangers and Fulham agreed a fee for the forward in January, but Cousin's transfer to the English Premier League required Fifa approval.

Inverness manager Craig Brewster was upset to see his side brushed aside 3-0 at home to Hearts.
"Hearts didn't have to play great for their three goals and that is really disappointing," he said.
"They got a lift from the two first half goals and our confidence drained away. Now we need to pick up and it's my job to lift everybody.
"We're not too far away from the top six but we need to get back to basics and start defending better."

Histon boss Steve Fallon was pleased to keep their play-off push going with a 3-1 victory at rivals Burton.
It left the Stutes seven points behind the top five, with 14 league games remaining - while Burton are just one point shy of the play-off places.
"In the first half, we were very good against the wind and we took our chances," Fallon explained.
"It's a long run-in, but away wins like this give us a better chance of reaching the play-offs."

Ebbsfleet manager Liam Daish thinks his side still have the team spirit to make the play-offs this season.
Fleet could only gain a point at struggling Northwich Victoria on Saturday and are currently 11 points outside the play-off places.
But Daish told BBC Radio Kent: "It's going to be difficult, but we've a good set of young lads who are fit and that does help."
Fleet face a busy run-in after getting to the FA Trophy semi-finals.
The semis against Aldershot will be played over two legs, and Ebbsfleet also have 15 league games remaining.

Grays chairman/manager Mick Woodward was thrilled with his first win as boss as they beat Torquay 2-0.
"All week on the training ground, I felt there was something in the locker, and I think we've unlocked something there," Woodward said.
"It felt fantastic. The lads were asked to do a job and did a thoroughly professional job.
"Torquay are a good side - I think they're very route one, but they deserve to be where they are."

Aldershot manager Gary Waddock said being patient was the key to their 2-1 victory over Kidderminster Harriers.
He told BBC Southern Counties Radio: "Kidderminster made it very difficult for us. They came with a game plan, sat deep and we had to be patient.
"We changed things at half-time and eventually, when the game opened up in the second half, we got our game going slightly better and scored the goal.
"It was a learning curve for the players and they came through it well."

Crawley manager Steve Evans was unhappy with referee Simon Beck's decision to dismiss keeper Ashley Bayes early in their 3-1 defeat at Stevenage.
Bayes was sent off for handling outside the box after only five minutes.
Evans told BBC Southern Counties Radio: "The whole ground saw what happened. We'll see when we look at the video if we get a phone call apologising.
"It seems to be the nature these days that you smash Crawley decisions-wise, then call them and it's not a problem."
Evans added: "We've gone about our business in a professional manner, as did Peter Taylor and Stevenage Borough, but there were three teams here."

Scotland manager George Burley has revealed that he is weighing up the prospect of calling on Sunderland defender Phil Bardsley.
The 22-year-old right-back was born in Eccles but qualifies for Scotland through his Glasgow-born father.
"I will watch Bardsley and assess if he warrants selection," said Burley. "If he does it would be a case of speaking to Phil.
"If he didn't want to play for us that would be the end of the story."
Bardsley agreed a three-and-a-half year deal with Sunderland in January after starting his career with Manchester United.
