But Nisbet could be on his way out of the Championship club with Lions boss Neil Harris prepared to let him go.

And the Dons are eager to explore the possibility of snapping Nisbet up.

Nisbet has 11 Scotland caps - with one goal - and is eager to make a move which will give him a fighting chance of getting back into Steve Clarke's squad.
The striker found himself dropped from Harris' final Millwall squad of last season against Swansea over an internal club matter - a week after finally overcoming a serious hamstring injury.
