It was rumoured that the Scottish champions were prepared to part with around £2m to sign the 28-year-old.
However, Jerome has no plans to join the Bhoys, with Norwich City his preferred destination, according to the Daily Record.
The Stoke City striker, who spent part of last season on loan with Crystal Palace, is expected to discuss personal terms with the Canaries in the near future.
