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.

Swanny17 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckies1874 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Just now, Jim_Duncan said: 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? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackOfTheNet Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 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.

And of course Dhanda is a better player he’s a seasoned professional ffs versus a young laddie just out the academy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
