It’s an absolute snakes nest, probably set up in such a way that the ‘poorest’ part of it would ultimately held responsible for any wrong doing.
Celtic were or still are owned by at least 4 separate company's.one of them is the reconstructed Celtic athletic and football association.
That is absolutely damming. Doesn't miss Dornan etc as well.

Your first sentence was spot on. Your second forgot about the mindset of the subject matter. Beasts the lot of them
Wasn't that a ticket office at some point?

Martin Henry, the Chair of the Independent Review of Sexual Abuse in Scottish Football, issues the following personal statement in response to reports this morning.
“Firstly, I am hugely disappointed that, following an interview with Channel 4 updating on the significant work undertaken by the Review team, I am compelled to clarify any uncertainty that has arisen from reports this morning.
“For the avoidance of doubt, and given the seriousness of the subject matter, neither in the Channel 4 interview nor in the as yet unpublished final report is there any reference to liability on any clubs that have formed part of the review. This is, quite simply, not within the terms of reference the review team have been working to.
“Equally, the final report will make no reference to compensation. On the contrary, in my dealings with the survivors, there is a clear wish for acknowledgement and wider recompense – amends to be made in whatever way deemed appropriate by that survivor - for the harm suffered. This is, of course, entirely a matter for the survivors and again not within the scope of the final report. I have stated consistently that the pursuit of personal justice is not necessarily financial.
“On the specific reference to Celtic FC, one of many clubs referenced in the final report, the Review in actual fact states clearly that the club has gone to great lengths to address any past contacts between the club and Celtic Boys Club - and have done so effectively. This is welcomed by the Review and welcomed within the review.
“The efforts of the Review team are completely focused on protecting young people by learning from the past to make football a safe place for children and young people.”
The Scottish FA also wishes to clarify that Martin was speaking in his independent capacity and that personal views expressed are not in the scope of the Review’s Terms of Reference, nor are they endorsed by the Scottish FA.
UNREAL!
Spot on mate, my feelings exactly

Has anyone in the press had the gumption to ask this character what team he supports?
It annoyed us at the time with posters negativity. Especially when we knew what was coming. The feelings towards Thompson are fully understandable though. Believe me we feel the same. You will see tonight how he goes for Celtic.
Click on the title O2 Martin Henry etc. rather than the play button.
Is this the reason for Dornan not seeking re-election?
Willbear one can only hope.So after this second segment of news, which looks like its all bad news , for Celtic, will there be a massive swell of negative press?.
Hopefully it will give all survivors & their families a well deserved lift
they need, to carry on fighting against that immoral shower of slime
of a football club. I hope now that the other rats, the Scottish MSM,
get their apologies in before Celtic, as to why they did S.F.A. about the worst kept secret in Scotland. Will the SFA/SPHL be forced to
start the long process of punishment for Celtic, which in all honesty
should have followed on after the FIRST abuse trail in 1997.
The main priority now will be to get the Natzi's cornered into calling
for a Public Inquiry by the Real H.M. Government because of the
cross-border nature of the evidence.
Also there is no reason why the SFA/EUFA/FIFA do not temporary
suspend their playing licence forthwith, pending evidence gathering
with a view to further sanctions, due to the historical nature of such
subject concealment by that Club.
Certainly looks that way. The unravelling has started
