ian1964 10,548 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 RANGERS player Maurice Edu had his luxury Range Rover impounded by cops yesterday. The American midfielder was pulled over on his way to training after traffic officers allegedly spotted himusing his mobile phone behind the wheel. And after examining the Gers starâ??s licence, they immediately confiscated the white 4x4. As a result, it is understood Edu was more than an hour late for training and had to be dropped off at Murray Park, in Milngavie, near Glasgow, by his partner. American citizens are allowed to drive in the UK on their US licence for 12 months. But after that, they are legally required to have a UK licence. That means the driver has to apply for a provisional licence and then pass a driving test. Edu, 25, has lived in Scotland since the summer of 2008 when former Rangers boss Walter Smith signed him from Toronto FC for £2.7million. The player was last night unavailable for comment. A spokeswoman for Strathclyde Police said: â??Around 10.25am, police officers stopped a car on Crow Road, Glasgow. â??As a consequence, the 25-year-old male driver will now be the subject of a report to the procurator fiscal in connection with alleged road traffic offences.â? http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/2011/12/14/rangers-star-maurice-edu-has-luxury-range-rover-impounded-by-police-as-he-drives-to-training-86908-23633748/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Surely someone at Rangers should be making sure all the foreign players have all their paperwork in order. Noticed they never tagged all the Septic player who have been charged with driving offences, on at the end. Stopped at 10.25 on way to training when the f*#k does training start at Auchenhowie.

A lecturer of mine at college 6 years ago worked there & he said training was 11-1, with after lunch sessions/classes being optional. Probably changed now though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,548 Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 You would think the biggest story regarding Edu would be the racial abuse he is getting from a BHEAST on twitter? https://twitter.com/#!/Widcfc1 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 5,928 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 No sympathy. The Polis did him a favour impounding the Range Rover. He should have bought an Audi; the only car to consider whilst contemplating invasion of Poland. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,405 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I think the SFA beaks are thinking of a 4-game ban as we write. I mean ... this US citizen actually endangered Scottish people! No matter whether that happens on the field of play or beyond! Scandalous! ... now wait, there is a flaw. For that ruling would mean that most players of the Hooped Horrors are not included. Hm ... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Driving other in accordance with your license means your insurance is void (if he had any in the 1st place). Not a great day for him as it could result in him being a disqualified driver until test passed. Looks like his partner will be the driver for a while yet. Rangers and Edu should've known about the 12 month license thing. Poor effort from the club. Edited December 14, 2011 by Gazza_8 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
