Nucky Thompson Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Pascal Mendy admits he'd love to join Rangers - despite helping Kaunas dump them out of Europe. The Senegalese star, 29, moved to Lithuania last year in the belief he'd be loaned to Hearts before work permit problems thwarted those hopes. But he hasn't given up hope of playing in Scotland - and insists he'd jump at the chance of a move to Ibrox. Mendy said "I really hope a result like this will improve my chances of coming to Scotland now. I joined Kaunas believing I'd be loaned to Hearts and was left disappointed that I couldn't because I didn't have the work permit. If I do get it then I would go to Hearts straight away. But it's not just about Hearts. It could be a Scottish team, a French team, an English team. It could be Rangers. Any big team." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought so It was for Gogua even though we failed What appears to happen with Hearts is the work permit applicant trains with us pending the decision. Have we had 3 applications since Vlad? Gogua, Obua and that young under 21 international left back - was he Georgian too? I cant really remember. Maybe the fact that he was already at Kaunas meant that he didnt come across on trial therefore there was no pressure / no need to go public on his application...still a bit strange IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 The work permit thing sometimes works in our favour too then From what I saw of him against the huns, I thought he was nothing special and certainly no better than we already have.

Jambof3tornado Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Funny how in that article he claims to want to play for gers but would come to hearts,that as usual you dont get to read what questions he was asked to give the answers to.

Mendy That Belarusian dude that got peshed with Hleb on a train? Popkhadze? Gogua? Hleb? Was Pinilla some sort of dual national? There was a six month window where Hleb was automatically eligible but they never pushed it through. Pinilla had an Italian passport. Kingston got a work permit via the Home Office, didn't need an appeal. Strakhanovich didn't qualify for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
