Alfredo Morelos is reported to have rejected an offer to join the worst club in Mexico.
Three months on from his last competitive appearance the chunky Colombian was apparently offered a short term deal to join Cruz Azul who are rooted in bottom place in the Mexican league.
One point from five matches has set the alarm bells ringing but when you get knocked back by Morelos you really have to take stock.
Since packing up his widescreen telly and microwave from his luxury Glasgow base the 26-year-old has been enjoying a party lifestyle back home in Colombia.
Last week the Daily Record was conjuring up a Neymar link to Santos, to the surprise of no-one that deal seems to have fallen through.

There are still many Ibrox fans hoping that there can be a return for their former striker with Cyriel Dessers and Danilo already being picked on by the boo boys.
