Booze-Up Shame Of Jambos Targets
By Dan Brennan
TWO Belarus stars could have blown their chances of signing for Hearts by being caught drunk on a train.
Oleg Strahanovich was thrown off and sent to a cooler after allegedly pushing and threatening a female conductor.
And fellow Jambos target Vyacheslav Hleb, brother of Arsenal star Alexander, was only allowed to complete his journey after calming down.
Hleb and Strahanovich moved to Kaunason loan in the Lithuanian close season after failing to win moves to Hearts as they did not meet work permit criteria.
They are still thought to be on the Jambos' wanted list but any moves could now be in jeopardy due to Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov's strong views on alcohol misuse.
According to reports in Belarus the two players spent the entire journey raucously drinking vodka, before Strakhanovich was thrown off the train.
He said last night: "I won't hide the fact I wasn't sober. I understand this kind of behaviour is not fitting for a sportsman. That's why I want to say sorry to the supporters.
