Kris Boyd will not be joining Birmingham this month after manager Alex McLeish declared his interest in the Rangers striker had "definitely finished".
Clydesdale Bank Premier League top scorer Boyd looked set for a move to the Coca-Cola Championship high-fliers earlier this month after Rangers agreed to sell the 25-year-old for a reported £3.75million.
Negotiations broke down over personal terms but McLeish had been hopeful a compromise could be reached between the parties.
However, it appears those attempts have failed, with McLeish telling Sky Sports News today: "It's dead; it's definitely finished now.
"It was disappointing because I thought Kris was ready to leave but it seems that he wasn't and he's decided to stay with Rangers.
"I think, deep down, it was probably a big wrench for him to leave. So, in the end, you'll need to ask Kris the real reasons."
