The team's defender seems like he won't play against the Lithuanian "Hearts" club next Saturday - the Lithuanian is preparing to leave Scotland and return to Eastern Europe to represent the Kazan team. Playing in Scotland for the past five years, Skerla would like to be closer to his homeland for family reasons, and "Dunfermline" is not planning to stand in his way - even though the club rejected the first "Rubin" offer, the second one, reportedly amounting to 210,000 pounds, met the Scots' wishes. "They told us that his father-in-law passed away a few months ago, and that his wife wants to be closer to her mother," said "Dunfermline" president John Yorkston. "It would be easier for him to travel to Lithuania from there, and even now he often comes back, including for national team matches." "We still have time to consider the offer because their transfer window is not closing anytime soon, and maybe tomorrow or the day after, although I think it will happen at the beginning of March. Nowadays, the players' market is different than before, and if a player wants to leave for genuine reasons, it would be hard to stop him," Yorkston admitted. "He played great for us and was a nice, quiet guy. I wish him luck if he does ultimately leave, and luck if he decides to stay." 27-year-old Skerla moved to Dunfermline in 2000 for 160 thousand pounds from Eindhoven's "PSV" and has been playing very successfully ever since - in the 2001/02 season, the Lithuanian was even named the best player of his team. For "Dunfermline," Skerla played a total of 162 matches and scored 3 goals, including one against "Celtic" in last year's cup final. The defender from Lithuania will not play in today's match against "Motherwell," so the encounter with "Kilmarnock" on February 19 should be his last match for the Scottish club.
