Probably last place I expected to see the Headline regards this also noted not a mention on either BBC or STV news sites but good to see action now starting.

“Please remember that this is about victims and justice NOT about the team you support”

A lot of people (not here, thankfully) would do well to remember that.

The pressure to obstruct this case will be enormous, from the SNP government, the Catholic Church, the legal profession, the media and the football authorities. I expect some claimants may be subjected to unseemly comment, or worse, as ranks are closed around the cesspit that is Celtic FC.

My Goodness, what a lot of anxious Celtic fans there are on social media this morning.

They seemed quite sure the Boys Club was/is a 'separate entity', so why are they anxious?

Child sexual abuse has happened in many organisations in many countries throughout the world. And probably continues. Unfortunate but true.

 

In addition to the prosecutions we’ve seen so far, the Celtic BC issue is also about whether there was a cover-up. If so football’s governing bodies have to get involved. Did the club gain an advantage in doing so? Sporting integrity springs to mind.

I think there's very little chance that no one in our national football organisations was involved in some way.

Won't be surprised if it's all settled out of court with confidentiality clauses in the agreements.
