I’m sure you’ll be able to keep us in the loop with how many, etc.

Update from The S*n.

‘A spokesperson for Celtic FC said: “We deliberately did not comment on the news story this morning for reasons of respect for the victim of the historic abuse at the hands of Jim McCafferty.”

“However, we cannot let Mr McGuire’s continued misleading and unjustified attacks on the club and on our Chief Executive in the media to continue. The McCafferty settlement was based on legal advice and is evidence alone of the club’s willingness to meet its obligations.


“We did not ask for a confidentiality agreement to be signed or keep this case ‘a secret’, so for Mr McGuire to suggest otherwise is completely untrue. We have, however, conducted this matter with sensitivity and discretion, which we think is the considerate and appropriate approach”

“As we have made clear, the ongoing cases should be pursued through the legal process and not through the media, yet Mr McGuire appears to be more interested in writing press releases than in corresponding with our insurers or their lawyers. We respect claimants’ rights and our advisers will communicate with them and their representatives directly in the proper manner, which is precisely what our representatives are doing.

“We have said very clearly and publicly that we have enormous sympathy for all victims of historic abuse, which has occurred across many different organisations.

“As a club, we take our obligations and responsibilities seriously and are co-operating fully with both the authorities and the process. We consider Mr McGuire’s words therefore not just to be wholly disrespectful of what is a very sensitive legal process but also grossly inaccurate and defamatory.


“We will continue to follow the proper processes, as we have done from the outset, and to meet all of our obligations.”

Well said Celtic. Put that ambulance chaser in his place.

Nice to see so many bears on this thread. Just like most other Celtic related threads. Now who was talking about obsessed fans?

Seems to be commonly accepted among most decent supporters there is still a road to be travelled not sure why you take offence at that...

I take offence because I believe that you are indulging in cheap point scoring. I could be wrong of course but that's my opinion. You could be genuinely concerned to see justice done.

Celtic will deal with it.

But for fans of a club that sent at least one victim to the liquidators to try to score points here is pretty poor IMO.
