Bairns ace fails to secure Turkish move

Falkirk striker Pedro Moutinho missed out a move to Turkey after a last-minute travel hitch. Moutinho was set for a move to Kayseristor after Falkirk accepted a £200,000 bid for the Portuguese forward. The former Portugal Under 21 international was due to fly out to Turkey for talks and a medical on Monday, but a hitch at Glasgow airport saw Kayseristor pull the plug on the move as the Turkish transfer window is set to close on Tuesday. Despite the disappointment of missing out on the move to Turkey, Moutinho has vowed to give his all for Falkirk for the remainder of the season.

Setback

"I've been in football long enough to know these things happen," Moutinho told the Daily Record. "But I'm more than happy with life in Scotland and I'm moving into a house next week so this hasn't been a huge setback. "I was going over to have a medical and discuss terms but now it's not happening and I'll just get my head back down to do my best for Falkirk."
