Karim Boukraa
Karim Boukraa is a French retired footballer and founder of the Deïzo Academy.Scotland
Flying to Scotland on 3 August 2000 to discuss a deal with Greenock Morton, Boukraa exited the Ton four months later to Ross County, citing unhappiness with Morton's directors. Assisting to beat Ayr United 2-0 on debut, he was best known for his skillful performance during the 2000-01 Scottish Cup 4th Round between the Staggies and Scottish Premier League giants Rangers, despite losing 3-2. Earlier, the wideman said he would not be vigilant of their best players as he had previous French Cup experience with top clubs. Staying on for the 2001/02 season, he helped County advance to the 2001–02 Scottish League Cup quarter-finals with a goal to knock out Dundee 2-1, but was eventually axed with three others.
Thinking back to his years in Scotland, the Frenchman stated that "There, everything is done to put the footballer in the best possible environment".
