I'm an ex-Rangers striker - here's how I got an Indian club a transfer ban

Former Hibs and Rangers striker Jason Cummings is at the centre of a FIFA transfer ban over his move to India two years ago.

Cummings, who has been capped by both Scotland and Australia, has just helped his club Mohun Bagan retain their Indian Super League title.

But they have been left stunned because FIFA have slapped a transfer ban on them because of irregularities over Cummings' move from Australian club Central Coast Mariners in 2023.

Although the ex-Dundee and Nottingham Forest star left when his contract expired, his club in Kolkata were obliged to pay training compensation to his former club in Australia, who complained to FIFA when they didn't receive the fee.

FIFA have now imposed a transfer ban on Mohun Bagan, who have insisted the mistake was an error.

They stated: "This was a technical error. It's a temporary ban. The problem is administrative in nature.

"We have reached out to FIFA, and will get this sorted in a week. The issue stems from the transfer of Jason Cummings from another club two years ago and his training compensation fee. We believe we completed the payments at the time of signing."
