Anyone who watched RTE's coverage of the UEFA Champions League will have seen Giles telling Bill O'Herlihy that Cristiano Ronaldo's much-reported celebration was probably for marketing reasons.

Giles said that in the coming days he thought we would find there to be some commercial aspect to Ronaldo's goal celebration, and just as the great man predicted, today reports have surfaced to back up his claim.
