Everton signing Aiden McGeady insists he didn't fall out with Spartak Moscow management in the final weeks of his time in Russia.
McGeady was said to have clashed with coach Valery Karpin.
"Towards the end I was getting a bit frustrated but I never had any falling-out with the manager," he told the Mail on Sunday.
"In the end it was just a case of they were getting tired of me not re-signing so I ended up getting put in the youth team, which was a good experience. But I can't have any complaints, it was a great life experience and a real eye-opener.
"The standard of the top teams was pretty good as they have a lot of money and Zenit went and spent 50million euros on Hulk and 40million euros on Axel Witsel.
"It was a difficult league. Every away game was a flight. I've actually been to Siberia - five and a half hours on a flight for an away game."
