Former Celtic and Ireland winger Aiden McGeady spent three and a half years at Spartak Moscow.
Aiden McGeady has revealed that he ditched his car after it took him five hours to drive a 30-minute journey from the Spartak Moscow training ground to his home.
While he also detailed some of the long flights to play domestic games, the Moscow traffic was something that he really struggled with during his short time driving in the Russian capital.“The driver, I felt sorry for the guy, he was driving us about. He’d drop you if you went to go shopping and he’d wait on you. You’d go to a restaurant and he’d wait for you.
“So I got a car and drove to training a few times. I only stayed about half-an-hour with no traffic to the training ground. “Then 15 black cars fly by at 70 miles an hour and it’s, on you go again. It took me five hours to go home!
