As Whodunnit’s go, this one is as gripping as anything penned by Agatha Christie.

The Alfredo Morelos interview on Sky caused outcry as it was exposed as fantasy.

Record Sport translated the interview and discovered the Rangers striker hadn’t accused Celtic fans of racism.

It also emerged swathes of quotes had been made up, with Morelos’ actual words bearing little resemblance to what he was purported to have said.

Sky Sports released a retraction and apology on Wednesday evening after Celtic had demanded an investigation into the process. The broadcasting giants promised to review the scandal as they got it in the neck from all quarters.

Social media was awash with all kind of conspiracy theories as fans queried who had conducted the translation that did the player little good as well as his club, Celtic and their fans.

Now Record Sport can reveal the man behind the translator. It’s understood Morelos’ representative – Michael Gorman – was involved.

The agent has previously blasted Morelos' treatment in the media by tweeting: "The campaign against Morelos in the Scottish press is one of the most bizarre situations I have seen in sports."

He also dropped a major hint that the 23-year-old was about to sign a new contract with an Instagram post showing him at the Hummel Training Centre.

He used emojis with the Colombian flag, a pen and a Scotland flag to hint that Morelos was set to agree a new deal with Steven Gerrard's men.

On Wednesday, Sky Sports issued their apology which said: "We have identified inaccuracies in the translation of Sky Sports News' interview with Alfredo Morelos. We apologise to both Celtic and Rangers football clubs as well as Alfredo Morelos for the issues caused by these errors.

"After numerous steps undertaken by Sky to verify the interview thoroughly we can be clear that at no point did Morelos allege that any racial abuse was directed at him by Celtic supporters in the interview. We apologise to the supporters of Celtic Football Club for this serious error.

"We are reviewing our procedures for translated interviews to ensure this does not occur in future.

"Below is the full transcript of the video published on Sky Sports with a professionally verified translation. A full subtitled video will be published here later."
