Rafael Felipe Scheidt (born February 10, 1976, in Porto Alegre, Brazil) is a retired Brazilian footballer.
He was signed by Kenny Dalglish, manager of Celtic from Grêmio for £5 million and failed to make an impact.
Plagued by injury and finding it hard to settle he started one game in the 1999–00 season against St Johnstone[1] and was let out on loan to Corinthians by new manager Martin O'Neill after just five appearances.
"[2] The Guardian newspaper called Scheidt the second worst transfer in the history of football, behind Steve Daley, in an article published in 2001.
[2] However, he no longer met UK work permit requirements and Celtic paid off the remainder of his contract.
