Moore refused to be drawn into detailing the scale of Wednesday’s interest but did wax lyrical as to McCart’s quality.

“It’s difficult for me to talk about a player who’s at another club,” he told The Courier.

“But what I will say is that, yes, I do know of him and he is a tremendous player. A good, good player.”

Sunderland, Nottingham Forest, Barnsley and Belgian outfit Royale Union Saint-Gilloise are all also reportedly interested in the 24-year-old, who has started out at Celtic before moving on to Inverness Caledonian Thistle and then St Johnstone.

“It’s not surprised me there’s been a lot of clubs touted for him and talking about him,” Moore said.

“I won’t talk about the intricacies of the man himself because he’s not our player.

“But what I will say is that he’s a solid player and good with the ball at his feet.”

Moore is hoping to strengthen the Wednesday squad in a number of areas.
