The National newspaper turning Nelson’s Eye to the worst sporting scandal in Scottish historyThe National newspaper - if we can dignify a political comic pandering to the wildest fringes of the cultural nationalist wing of the Yes movement with that description - has like the other titles in the Herald-Times group been strangely quiet about this massive story in the city in which they are based.Predatory paedophiles are both cunning and shameless - any and many organisations may and have had, and continue to have, them prey on young people within the organisations care. There should be no lowering of the guard for the future nor playing politics with the history of such abuse - wherever it has or is occurring.We do however have a particular situation over decades at Celtic football club where numerous persons have stood trial and been convicted of abusing children. And so do other clubs - and yet others have had allegations made against them and their staff.The difference with Celtic is the longevity of the assaults and allegations from roughly 1969 to 1994/95; the fact that so many of their Boys Club and club staff (the two are in fact one and the same) have been convicted; that the chairman of the football club (Kevin Kelly) became a director of Torbett’s Trophy Centre company and that another club director’s wife (Anne Dunn, wife of Jack McGinn) became company secretary; all this whilst the football club continued to do £250,000 of business a year with the Trophy Centre even after Torbett’s conviction.Add to that a disturbing history of detail and deflection from the football club and this is by any standard a massive story. If it doesn’t look like a paedophile ring then I don’t know what does.The recent two-part report from Channel 4 has brought to a UK audience the Celtic Boys Club scandal - and by proving the Scottish link to the notorious abuser Barry Bennell it has served to open up a new chapter in this sordid story.It’s an incredible story and yet a Glasgow based media organisation barely mentions it? and when they do it is to attempt to traduce an MSP who has been at the forefront of fighting for justice on behalf of the victims?Adam Tomkins made no joke about paedophillia - he merely point out that on and off the field Celtic had had a bad week - when one considers the lies, obfuscation, weaponisation of their fan base against critics and legal threats the club has employed his comments were apt. Channel 4 has kicked a huge hole in their wall of deceit.
