BN is there any chance CFC will fold and agree to the survivors demands before this is heard in court?

Could they even afford to?
If the total number of victims combined with the figures mentioned recently are what they're looking at, even a surplus of the £28m their press pals have been playing up recently wouldn't cover the payout.
Given what they've done so far, I'd expect them to rail against it until the very last gavel comes down.

The financial side is the least of their worries, I was thinking more about their admission of guilt, neglect, cover up and issuing a full apology?

Nothing so far suggests they care about that whatsoever.
It's been driven by money / business calls.

I'm reliably informed Celtic's lawyers will be on to spotlight for this libellous tweet.
We’ve all been there. Welcome back.

In the Celtic board room:
"Quick, get the lawyers on the blower. We're taking Spotlight to court for libel".
"Uh.... boss.... ummm...."
"What, what is it. Spit it out man"
"Umm... well, boss... they're merely tweeting articles from our own publications"
"....."

As soon as Celtic Football Club said that they would have their own enquiry into goings on at Celtic Boy's Club should make any judge's mind up that they are not a "separate entity".

Absolutely correct.
One company looking into a separate and different company?
Happens all the time.
Not.

The lawyer who will face Celtic has asked for anonymity to protect them from the same arson attacks as Big Pete ?

That carpet must be hitting the ceiling by now?
They think some documents are missing. Spotlight beg to differ. They are in the correct hands.

A SENIOR lawyer has urged a judge to give permission for sex abuse survivors to a launch a US-style “class action" lawsuit against Celtic FC.
Advocate Ian Mackay QC told Lord Arthurson on Monday that former Celtic Boys Club players should be allowed to sue the Hoops for a multi million pound sum in the Court of Session.
He will make his decision tomorrow.

Aye, documents THEY claim they’ve lost too.
If they’d dealt with it 50 years ago, when they should have, maybe their documents would have been there.
One thing which is CERTAIN.
So many children would not have been abused that have been abused.

Quite an incredible situation being put forward by Celtic’s QC here.
The prosecution presents a mountain of evidence showing a definitive link between Celtic and the Boys Club.
The defence submits zero evidence on the grounds it has gone missing.
“We cannae find a bit of paper therefore we are innocent”.

So, the Bheasts defence is that they don't have any evidence to support there so called innocence & therefore that should be the end of it
In any other circumstances, for me that is an admission of guilt

Fittingly, I believe, in American Football, the parlance for this type of action, is a hail Mary.
I can only view this as a positive for the action. I believe the defence have just declared they've got nothing. All those articles over decades of Celtic publications, painstakingly collected by Spotlight, now hang over these kuntz, like the sword of Damocles.
Good luck tomorrow.

Even if they did find the bit of paper dating back to the 60’s which says they are separate entities, their actual behaviour over 4 decades demonstrates a clear and practical connection between the two.
In other words, despite what the original constitution might say, the reality is that Celtic were inextricably linked to the boys club and regarded them as their feeder academy. This is abundantly clear from their own club publications and something which Spotlight have highlighted time and time again.

Again we apologise that we can’t mention more on this, but I know you’ll understand.
