Jorge Silva claims son Fabio was advised to sign for Celtic because he was a Catholic – but chose a move to Rangers instead.
Silva went down several times in the game and Hoops gaffer Brendan Rodgers was adamant that Silva had dived to earn his side a spot kick. But his father Jorge has defended the 21-year-old after his stint at Ibrox came to an end and he returned south. And the former Portugal international has revealed Silva rejected a switch to Parkhead from Molineux.
"Many people told him to go there because the way they play is maybe closer to Fabio’s abilities. But he chose Rangers. “He loved the club and the fans. He just doesn’t understand that after one game , everyone changed and went against the boy. It was a good time for him at Rangers. All the staff there helped him.
