Work Permits

If true we'd obviously want to add this into our game, but we will need official source material and evidence to pass over to the dev team.

Could you link us to some, please?

The important part is on page 10 and 11, making reference to the appeals panel to discern whether a player is of sufficient standard. Celtic signed Liel Abada from Maccabi Petah Tikva F.C. in July 2021, one month after he made his debut for the Israeli national team, who we ranked around 80 at the time. He had neither the required number of appearances for his national team, nor was his national team ranked high enough, to qualify for a Work Permit. He was given a Work Permit through the Appeals process which determined he was good enough "to contribute significantly to the development of the game at the top level in Scotland" - one of the terms of reference for the appeals process. Rangers signed Juan Alegria, 19 year old with 2 U17 caps for Colombia in 2019, from Finland. St. Johnstone signed Eutu Vertainen, no international caps, from the Finnish top division. Hearts signed Cameron Devlin, 2 U23 caps for Australia, from Newcastle Jets in the A-League.

I'm also wondering if the "teams cannot sign more than 6 foreign under 21 players from abroad" rule that Scotland has in the game actually applies to Scotland?  Any mention online I can see of it relates to England and isn't mentioned anywhere in the document posted above or in anything I can see online.
