India requires their players to have only Indian nationality. 

But due to their low Fifa ranking players like Dhanda would not be able to play in European leagues. 

Now that is bizarre🙄

Is this actually confirmed? Or is someone just making stuff up again? If he had a Scottish mum I’d have expected Scotland to have been sniffing around him by now

No, it's not correct.  He has family connections up here, but his parents are from England, his Dad is of Punjabi background.  I think it's the case that his mother's side has relatives who live in Dalkeith and are Jambos, but there is no Scottish bloodline in his own pedigree.

Thats absolutely amazing to hear! So he's got a connection of sorts to the club? Amazing!  

 

I'm already buzzing to see what the laddie can do!

It’s not that uncommon that countries don’t allow dual nationality.

 

My kids are half Dutch and when my oldest (14 now) was born I looked into dual nationality but at the time he could only get dutch citizenship if he gave up his British citizenship. 
 

I have heard that’s changed now though. 

[Swanny17]

Watched it back on Sportscene again.

 

See if you look closely, the ball comes off the back of the Hibs players head for the throw in. This can be confirmed by said Hibs player not complaining about the throw in being awarded to RC.  If this nick didn’t happen (even though it can be seen by careful viewing) the Hibs player involved would have been far more animated.

 

Hibs have since chastised the officials, they should now be apologising for what was actually an excellent decision.  I won’t hold my breath.

About 40 yrs ago I met a Scots guy while on holidays. He had come up from Seattle for a week or two. I asked him if he had taken American citizenship. He said no. And he never would. He claimed that he had to renounce his British citizenship and he was not prepared to do that. 
I have no idea if he was bullshitting me or not. 
Maybe some of the US expats on here could confirm or deny this?

Not too sure about his Dad's side but Yans Mum 100% went to Dalkeith High School and His Grandparents still live in Dalkeith.

 

I think his Uncle might of moved down the Borders now but he is still a season ticket holder.

That was indeed the case until several years ago.  It's now possible to hold both U.S. and U.K. citizenship.

Confirms his family are Hearts fans and his uncle is a season ticket holder (as Leveins battalion says.)

See if we can get Shankland on an extension, having Dhanda assisting him is going to be ****ing lethal.

I am at the stage where I would keep Shanks for all of next season whether he extends his contract or not tbh . Shanks with Vargas , Dhanda , McKay , Forrest and Oda is ridiculously strong at this level . If we get £6 million from Europe , I would just keep him and let him leave for nowt . Nobody seems to want to offer us what he is actually worth in goals , so **** them

At the start of this season, I thought we were really creative with McKay and Lowry. Two players who could play a similar role and unlock defences. However McKay has been injured nearly all the season and Lowry was underwhelming at best.

 

With Dhanda and McKay hopefully fit (which I think he will be) then I see that creative side open up to us next season. 

 

If we have increased the budget quite a bit for next season, it will be interesting to see what we spend it on, as the players you mention form a strong attacking portion to the squad. Would say one more striker, though I do think having a player who can play defence splitting passes could really unlock Tagawa. I also think if Boyce ever gets back to full fitness he will be another important squad player.

Agreed, unless he's unhappy and wants to leave after a reasonable bid is put in.

An unhappy player can ruin everything. 

 

 

I don't think he's that sort but if, for example a championship club bids around £4m or so and he's made it clear he wants to move then that is the only reason I'd sell.

I don't think that will happen tho.

I agree, but from a non-HMFC perspective, it could put players off joining us if they know we’re going to block moves for them to make more money. Modern football is shite in this regard, sadly.

 

We need to be aggressive about bids in the summer - tell clubs he’s worth £6m to us and they have to match that. Rangers will offer a million and the Glasgow media will go tonto if we don’t cave. 

Players don’t think that far ahead and worry about an isolated situation like that. Simply isn’t a thing.

In principle, you need to renounce your UK citizenship if you want to take Spanish citizenship, but in practice this isn’t enforced or even checked-up upon by the Spanish authorities and the UK ones either don’t know or don’t care. Therefore, you just retain your UK passport and status - applying for a new one as necessary and as normal - and have de-facto dual citizenship.

 

I’ve no idea if the same applies with the US but maybe it could? 🤔

Very true! Although, Forrest is playing his best football on the left. Barrie might have a fight on his hands to get back into the starting 11!! 

 

We could have a very, very good attack next season.

It was quite obvious. The officials get a lot right to be fair. 

 

The other thing wrongly said was the quality of the goal. Brilliant pass into to the far corner.

I always wondered how it could REALLY be enforced. The country of your birth is never going to refuse you a passport (I would not think anyway) and your adopted country is probably not going to be checking your mail box every day for a different passport to make sure you are a loyal citizen. Unless you live in Russia😜

He looks far better than Denholm that’s for sure

If a player on loan cannot play against their parent club, should they be allowed to play against a team they have pre-contract with? Imagine if we needed to win this to qualify for Europe?

Years ago I considered renewing my British one based solely on an experience I had at Glasgow airport entering the UK. We got off our flight from Canada and lined up at customs about 300 people back from the customs desk. All the while watching as people from EU countries walked right past and into the country with no problem! Had we had our British passport it would have been a breeze to walk in. Still never have renewed it though😂

 

[BackOfTheNet]

Pre-match on BBC Sportsound Cowie was getting interviewed and the interviewer said Dhanda will be at Hearts next season in a question about what he brings to the team. He said it as a matter of fact and Cowie did nothing to refute that. Odd how such conversation can go on without any official announcement.

Entirely different. Up to his manager to make that call. We were happy for Souttar to play against Rangers two years ago.

That's such a ridiculous shout. Mainly because the pre-contract might not even be publically announced.  And why would a club willingly give up one of their own employees just because they happen to be playing a rival team who have agreed a future deal?

There were 4 or 5 in that starting line up today that probably won’t be here next season, and maybe another couple at least that might not be first choice, would be a bit worried if we were not so far in front. Certainly a very interesting summer window with such a hectic schedule up until Christmas.

I've seen a few negative comments about Denholm since yesterday. Really need to lay off him, he’s a young lad finding his feet, if Naismith thinks he’s going to be good enough then I’ll go with his judgement he’s proven a lot of people wrong already with the likes of Hoff. And of course Dhanda is a better player he’s a seasoned professional ffs versus a young laddie just out the academy.
