He started (and finished): Celtic fan masters Mastermind

A Scottish salesman tonight triumphed in a round of TV's Mastermind after making history by answering questions on Celtic FC.

John Savage, 52, beat off the three other contestants after collecting a total of 25 points in the two rounds - specialist and general knowledge.

He recorded 11 out of 14 points for knowing details of Celtic's history, including its founder Brother Walfrid, eminent manager Willy Maley, and a famous victory (over Inter Milan in 1967) and loss (to Raith Rovers).
