Having weathered the early fuss about his unfortunate surname ("What's all the fuss about Celtic spending millions on Scheidt - having they been doing it for years?", "Will he be given the number two jersey", etc, etc) new Celtic signing Rafael, as he will be officially known, has been explaining why he chose to sign for the club when he had numerous offers from around Europe. Did he say (a) "it's a grand old team to play for", (b) "I want to help restore this wonderful club to its former glory" or (c) something else? Answer? C: "Celtic and their manager John Barnes were prepared to pay a lot of money for me, and I don't just mean the transfer fee - I mean the salary as well," he said, grinning broadly (through an interpreter). Well, at least he's honest.
