McGhee is understood to be on a four-man short-list alongside Tommy Burns, Graeme Souness and George Burley, and held talks with Well owner John Boyle on Tuesday night about speaking to the SFA.

Boyle said: "Mark and I had a very constructive and amicable meeting. He is on a three-year contract with the club."

He added: "He is happy here and is looking forward to the rest of the season at Fir Park.

"Obviously, we are very keen to keep him as the Motherwell manager - and I have put a range of proposals to him.

"Understandably, he wants to hear what the SFA have to say. But he has made it clear publicly and to the club that he would not want to let us down.

"In fairness to him, Motherwell have reluctantly agreed to give permission to the SFA to speak to him."

McGhee, who took over at Fir Park last summer, has insisted he will not leave without the "absolute consensus" of everyone at the club.

The former Aberdeen and Celtic striker has received widespread praise for his leadership following the death of club captain Phil O`Donnell on December 29.
