Were it differs is that have loads of players have signed from Northern Ireland to mainland Britain. This is the first ever transfer from Britain to Russia.

Sure it doesn't prove anything, but it is interesting that the Hearts owner has previous dealings with the team that has signed the first ever British player and that the player happens to play for the owners nearest rivals who they coincidental play in the biggest game in both their historys for quite sometime.
By the way the other player that a Russian team has made an offer for recently was Derek Riordan. If he had accepted he could have been the first ever British Russian transfer. A case Mulder and Sculley me thinks
