Hi Mark,
Following your derogatory report on 17/10/2019 which was broadcast on B.B.C. news reports, can I ask what is your Agenda with Rangers F.C.?
Rangers released a statement which stated that your report was sensationalist with an unfair accusation. A well worded and accurate description in my opinion.
Can you explain your accusation of a cover up? My understanding is that the boy was subject to inappropriate behaviour, which his parents then reported to Rangers, leading to a meeting with Graeme Souness, Walter Smith & Alistair Hood, questioning Neely. By admission he was then dismissed and allegedly Rangers reported the matter to Strathclyde police.
Someone at Rangers News reported his departure in a small 6 line caption, someone who was unlikely privy as to the reason of the departure and as any respecting individual would do they wished him well for the future. How can this be construed as a cover up based on this news piece?
You also omitted from your report that Neely only ended up at Rangers due to the failure of individuals at Hibernian F.C. to report his behaviour.
Recently Celtic F.C. dismissed a youth coach Michael Murphy for inappropriate behaviour, did you afford the same reporting standards as to your Neely report? Alluding to this latest incident at Celtic F.C. , it begs the question, "is it safe for parents to allow their children to play & train at Celtic F.C./ St.Patrick's boys club, at this present time?",
perhaps Mark this should be your next investigative subject as a matter of urgency, along with revealing the answer's to Mr Lawwell's secret 2 year internal investigation, as it looks to the unsuspecting eye, a case of point scoring and whataboutery?.
I am working with a team of volunteers to obtain justice for the victims of all Scottish historical child sex abuse, a lot of us have friends ,relatives and colleagues whose then children were abused predominantly by employees of Celtic F.C., we will leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of justice for these poor victims, as they have been ignored for over 4 decades.
A heads up for you Mark, we are at advanced stages to securing backing from a wealthy individual who is abhorred at the plight of the victims, with their backing, we intend to legally challenge those who construct libellous, ill informed and fictitious media reports which have an adverse impact for the victims. I would suggest an apology would suffice reference your inaccurate report on Thursday, any legal action undertaken will be against individual persons and not the organisation they "work" for , i.e. the B.B.C., why should the taxpayer foot the bill to defend the action of an individual with a clear and biased agenda?.
Look forward to your reply Mark.
Yours Sincerely
R.K.
