Knowledge Musona has broken his silence on his stunning return to Zimbabwe, where he will now play alongside Khama Billiat at Scottland FC.
Musona joined the big-spending Scottland side on Monday as a free agent.
The move comes after his contract with Saudi Arabian club Al-Okhdood expired at the end of the 2024/25 season, with the two parties going their separate ways.

Notably, this transfer marks the first time Musona will feature in the Zimbabwean top flight, as his senior professional career began at Kaizer Chiefs before he spent nearly two decades abroad in countries such as Belgium, Germany, and Saudi Arabia.
The centre-forward was officially unveiled to the public on Monday and received a rousing welcome at Rufaro Stadium in Harare.
In his first interview with the club, posted on Scottland’s official Facebook page, Musona explained why he chose to return home despite receiving offers from elsewhere.
He said: "I've been playing internationally for the past 17 years. As I am winding down my career, I thought it is always best to go back home to play football in Zimbabwe.
"I've never played in Zimbabwe before, so I thought it's the best time to come back home and enjoy my last years of football playing at home."
Asked about teaming up with Billiat and Terrence Dzvukamanja at club level, Musona said: "It feels great, I have known them for some time. We've played together [in the national team].
"It's a good feeling because it's not like I'm coming into a completely new team with new teammates.
"Most of them I have played with and played against – so it's nothing new. I'm looking forward to it."
