Scottish expat writes about football in post-Soviet region

Dear all,

Here is a fascinating article written by an expat based in Central Asia ( a Celtic fan i believe...) who dissects some of the problems faced by the weakest side in the former Soviet Union.

He also analyses the greater levels of temptation for weaker nations to naturalise non-native players, with Kyrgyzstan having four Ghanaian in its side.

In any case, its an interesting read and well-researched piece about football from the back of beyond.

Kind Regards,
Vata
