Does it usually take about 2 weeks for one to come through? We signed Melkersen on the 5th Jan and he's unavailable tonight :confused:

St Johnstone (or was it Dundee Utd actually?) had the same issue with a Scandinavian signing recently I’m sure.

Dundee Utd boy got his last week having waited a week.
Dundee United granted work permit for Finnish star Carljohan Eriksson (thecourier.co.uk) (https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/dundee-united/2898072/carljohan-eriksson-dundee-united-work-permit-granted/)

He probably wouldn't have played anyway but is it easier to get them for Japanese players (celtic) than Scandinavian now we aren't in the EU? Could this be a further issue towards the end of the window/going into the derby? :confused:
