The 25-year-old looked to be on his way out of the SMiSA Stadium after the Buddies agreed a £250,000 fee for his services. Baccus travelled down and underwent a medical but the move collapsed with the player said to be unimpressed by the wage offer to uproot to Lancashire.
According to reports in his homeland of Australia, Hibs are now leading the chase for the combative player along with an unnamed English Championship club.
