[edit] Career
Česnauskis started his career as a teenage prodigy with Ekranas Panevėžys and earned a move to the Russian Premier League before his nineteenth birthday, when he joined Dynamo Moscow in 2000. Having previously been a regular for the Lithuanian under-21 side, he made his debut for the full national side against Estonia aged only 20, in 2001.
After several years at Dynamo, Česnauskis joined city rivals Lokomotiv Moscow for the 2004 Russian season, before agreeing a transfer to Scotland with Hearts in 2005. The terms of this deal involved him signing for FBK Kaunas and being immediately loaned to the Edinburgh side for three seasons. He made his Hearts debut against Kilmarnock in the Scottish Cup, scoring the final goal in a 3-1 victory. [1]. His second goal for Hearts also came in the Scottish cup, but it did not prevent his team for losing against Celtic in the semi-final.
In his second season at Hearts he helped the team to win the Scottish Cup by scoring a brilliant winning goal in a quarter-final 2-1 win against Partick Thistle.
Since November 2006 he has not played over a year for Hearts with injuries and just not being picked, and only played two matches for the Lithuanian national team.
He finally made his comeback for Hearts in January 2008 in away match against Dundee United, and soon after was voted man of the match in his return to Tynecastle in a 1-1 draw against Kilmarnock.
His younger brother Edgaras is also a professional footballer and currently plays for Saturn Ramenskoe in Russia.
