Hi Ed's,

Please pardon and forgove my ignorance here, but are there different types of Work Permits you can apply for, for players? As in some circumstances, players just appear to get them granted whilst others (Grujic and Salah) need to leave the country prior to being able to play. I am sure I have overlooked or missed something, but figured I should ask those with an evidently superior knowledge on such topics.

Thanks for your time as always.

{Ed025's Note - its usually determined by age, playing time experience, international caps etc i believe jimy, i dont know how thats actually calculated though mate..

I was wondering about this myself. Rangers appear to have signed a fair few players who required permits, but none of them are major players for their national teams (think the mexicans had about 30 caps between them, and they're in their mid to late 20's) .

Seems odd, as I would assume British rules were the same with regards to Work Permits.
