 Gary O'Connor is awaiting results of a medical |
Hearts winger Deividas Cesnauskis believes Hibernian striker Garry O'Connor will be welcomed by the supporters of his former club. Lokomotiv Moscow are on the verge of completing the �1.6m transfer of the Scotland international.
"They have a new stadium and a good training complex and I think Garry O'Connor will be well received," said the Lithuanian. "He is a good player.
"Lokomotiv Moscow are a good team. They have good players."
O'Connor is awaiting results of a medical and a formal final offer from the Russians.
Cesnauskis spent five years in Moscow, first with Dynamo and then with Lokomotiv, and stresses that O'Connor is moving to a "big club".
"When I played, we were Russian champions and were a very good team," he added.
"But it will be a difficult season for Garry O'Connor because there will be more flights to different cities than he is used to in Scotland."
