Spanish Glasgow Rangers star Nacho Novo has reiterated his desire to play for his adopted homeland after revealing that he could be eligible for Scottish Citizenship after spending 8 year in Scotland playing for Raith Rovers (2001 - 02), Dundee (2002 - 04) and Rangers (2004 - present).
Once gaining Citizenship, it would be up to the SFA and Manage George Burley to decide if Novo would be the first “foreigner” to don the Scottish Kit.
“I was asked a simple question about playing for Scotland and I gave an honest answer. When I was young my dream was to play for Spain but that hasn’t happened.
“I have been in Scotland for many years now. My family is Scottish as well. It would be an honour for me to pull on a Scotland jersey.”
Marco Senna anyone?

And with Barry Ferguson and Gary Naismith out with injuries for significant amounts of time, Edu’s chances of forming a serious midfield partnership at Parkhead with newly signed Pedro Mendes seem that much greater.
