Given the SFA review is coming soon, national documentaries, journos with like Alex Thomson and Marc Horne chasing them up, not to mention the victims, families and supporters fighting on for justice, then a storm is brewing for Celtic. Even if Lawwell manages to lean on Martin Hendry to water down the SFA review, it will surely still be enough to highlight their role and negligence in this, even if Lawwell tries to push responsibility onto the SFA.
Therefore Celtic only have 2 options in all of this:-
a) they go to court and fight against every individual case, in a lengthy, time consuming, expensive process that would surely do them even more harm from a PR perspective.
b) they apologise and offer compensation to the victims.
Any rational and moral guidance would point them towards the latter. We shall see.
