Why would a British citizen need international clearance to sign for a British club ? 

 

Strange eh - but can only be his former PFA contract was with an English club/league and he's now moved to Scotland - nothing to do with a working visa.

Once you're done as a player you're done, but he's been a very good EPL player for years and has played against the likes of Ageuro, Sanchez, Suarez, Costa and all the other top EPL centre forwards of the past half dozen years.

No idea what level he's at right now but if it's close to what he was like 2-3 years ago he'll do well for us when needed.

For FIFA/UEFA purposes the EPL and SPFL are administered by different national associations. The clearance is required to ensure there are no outstanding issues with the previous association. This is required at all levels of the game when a player is registered with a club.

It’s baffling. 4th choice at best and brings a bit of experience. 

It allows us to potentially rest Goldson or Katić after, or before, a big game depending on the opposition. It means we have cover on the bench if we do play three at the back, or cover for injuries and suspensions with the current system. He's got over two hundred English top flight games under his belt, and he's a bluenose; someone who can be a role model for our relatively young centre backs. 

Obviously I'd rather we had brought in a creative midfielder or another striker, but having cover for both centre backs isn't a bad thing considering we didn't have any cover a few weeks ago.
