MILLIONAIRE KHARINE DEPARTS

Last updated : 21 May 2002 By
Dimitri Kharine has been released by Celtic after his contract came to an end. The Russian goalkeeper never established himself after being signed up by the ill-fated John Barnes.

Kharine's career at Celtic Park may have been poor on the playing front but it was certainly successful in a financial sense with the Keeper earning an estimated 10k a week during his spell at the club. In all he made seven full appearances for the club in the space of 3 years - nice work if you can get it.
