A report in the Scottish Sun claims former Rangers defender Bilel Mohsni has signed for his fifth different club since leaving Glasgow in 2015.
According to the report and  Transfermarkt, he has signed a deal with Greek second tier club, Panachaiki, until 2020.
The move is despite a warrant for his arrest being issued in the UK.
He had been due to appear in court for an alleged dangerous driving offence which took place in April of last year, but failed to turn up.
Having arrived at Ibrox in 2013 from Southend United, he racked up 44 lower league appearances. With 11 goals, he averaged one every four outings – an impressive ratio for a centre-back.

However, his stint was blighted by disciplinary problems. Most notoriously, he kicked and punched Motherwell’s Lee Erwin after the final whistle in a 2015 play-off defeat.
That incident effectively marked the end of his Rangers career.
Since then, he has found a permanent home hard to come by.

Spells at Angers, FC Paris, Etoile du Sahel and Dundee United followed.
His contract with United expired during the summer and he has been looking for a new side ever since.
Finally, he appears to have found one.
With a one and a half year contract, this could be the bit of stability he’s looking for.
It’s hardly a glamour move, but after several months out of the game, it’s something.
