"FOLLOWING the conviction of Mr James Torbett at Glasgow Sheriff Court, Celtic Football Club wishes to express our deep regret that the incidents took place and sympathy for the victims who suffered abuse. We are grateful for the courage of those who have come forward to report abuse and to give evidence after such a long period of time. We have great respect for them and their families as they continue to cope with the distressing effects of the abuse they suffered.
Allegations regarding abuse at Celtic Boys’ Club first emerged in the 1990s. Although Celtic Football Club is an entirely separate organisation, we have always taken these allegations extremely seriously because of our historic contacts with Celtic Boys’ Club. All investigations by the police and other inquiries were given our full support. We encouraged any individuals involved to report all information to the police so that matters could be investigated fully. Celtic Football Club continues to encourage any victim of abuse to report these crimes to the police.
After the allegations became known in the 1990s, Celtic Football Club took steps to develop a new code of conduct and procedures to protect young people. Since then, Celtic Football Club has been at the leading edge of putting welfare and safeguarding protections in place for our young people. We were the first club in Scotland to appoint a safeguarding officer, developing policies for the protection of young people and monitoring and reviewing our procedures to ensure they continue to reflect best practice.
The abuse of children is an issue affecting many areas of society, including a large number of football clubs, sports clubs, youth organisations, educational institutions and religious bodies across Britain. Celtic Football Club strongly believes that children and young people involved in football have the right to protection from all forms of harm and abuse and is committed to ensuring this and to promoting their wellbeing through continued cooperation with our children and young people, parents and carers and the relevant authorities."
Better than nothing to be honest.

And you two can fwck off an all
It’s amusing watching someone try and move the goalposts after they’ve argued against themselves.
It’s even better when they don’t even read, far less understand what I said.
Leave him to it

Wow - you do google 👏👏👏
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes.
I also read links. Even pathetic ones.
And when i get things wrong I hold my hands up.
Maybe you could learn something from that although from your whanky attitude as mags puts it, I highly doubt it.
So you continue waffling away to deflect from the simple fact you were wrong all along and then trumped it by putting up a link you clearly didn’t read that only qualified your error.
Good luck in whatever you do
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The case was resolved out of court, that is just a fact, so good luck in whatever you do as it’s obviously nothing to do with corporate law or business matters
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fwck me.
Even more stupidity.
Who said it had anything to do with corporate law?
And how is it not a business matter when it’s a legal business entity that is the defendant?
As if you couldn’t make more of a tw*t of yourself?
😂
*Beep Beep
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I never said it was t a business matter, you should read things more thoroughly instead of jumping down people’s throats in a completely condescending manner and getting things totally wrong
As you have done from the outset here
Good day to you

Hahahaha haha.
Superb. From someone who says I have no knowledge of corporate law or business matters and tries every which way to deflect from making incorrect statements, trying to back them up with completely unrelated cases and still getting that wrong.
Aye ok then. When I’m wrong I’ll hold my hands up. So who’s the condescending one again?
If you stand up and make stupid remarks be prepared to get knocked down, especially when you try and come over all factual from the word go.
It happens. It’s hapoened to me. Maybe you need somewhere a wee bit more gentle to chat?
