The Spaniard is plying his trade in the Spanish fourth tier with Gimnástica de Torrelavega.

On Sunday evening he netted in a crucial 4-2 win over Vimenor, keeping the side in the top three of their Tercera División group which ensures a place in the promotion group.

The goal was notable for the GIF the club used to celebrate the goal.

It saw Palazuelos strip off the shirts of previous clubs he had played for, including Hearts, before he got to the top of Gimnástica, which was also removed in jubilation.

The midfielder is back playing with the club he was with prior to Tynecastle.

Palazuelos was a popular figure at Hearts, playing 127 games across four seasons, a figure which puts him in seventh in the list of foreign players to have made the most appearances for the club.
