That re-brand to St Patrick's Sports Academy just stinks of trying to wash away history and trying to come out holier than thou, utter frauds the lot of them.

Whiter than white piousness, that's them and their ilk from cradle to grave.This is the intended endgame for them.
" the name of Celtic must be kept clean at all times" - Jock Stein.
And what we’ve learnt is their apologists within the press and the Scottish government are also masters of deflection.Whiter than white piousness, that's them and their ilk from cradle to grave.
"It wisnae me/us, we answer to a higher power and get absolved of our sins"
You never get a straight answer from any of them, the masters of deflection.
When challenged they said they were in the middle of an internal investigation which was a front to put other concerned investigations off. During their internal investigation , which apparently lasted 2 years , not one of the victims was approached and the investigation completed with no case to answer with Kelly stating the rumours surrounding the accusations as scurrilous. There has been no investigation since.Perhaps the situation with SNP MP Patrick Grady and Chief Whip is indicative of their attitude towards perpetrators of sexual acts.
A commons watchdog found him Grady indulged in sexual misconduct by touching and stroking a a teenagers neck hair and back.
He got a 2 day Commons ban and suspended for 6 months by the party.
He has had his membership of the SNP reinstated and free to stand as an SNP candidate at the next election.
Many parallels with the situation at CFC in how the guilty party is treated and brought back into the fold and perhaps indicative of their reluctance to instigate any meaningful and fair/impartial action/investigation against them.

They knew in the 70s it was going on...they covered it up
They knew in the 80s it was going on....they covered it up
The knew in the 90s it was going on....they covered it up
This can be proven in any court of law.
The bells and smells wont save them
Mark McAuley case in progress too.
So much for them dealing with it.
That would stop their claim it was historical in its tracks.
I have been following Spotlight for quite a while. The support you have given to the surviving victims has been great. I would like to wish all of them all the best in the coming year.There’s a reason why we’re posting this year’s review in separate months in this thread.
We understand that most of you have followed every Spotlight post since we started, but we gain new followers now on a daily basis. So it gives them a chance to look back on the thread and see each individual post.
If anyone has any questions about any post then please feel free to ask us. We can’t thank you enough for your kind comments and the offers of assistance.
The people that have helped us (and you know who you are) then all we can say is thank you.
I don’t want to sound patronising but please remember this. Spotlight exists for one reason. For the voices to be heard that suffered at the hands of that club. Spotlight will fight to the end no matter how long it takes.
Any normal human being would do the same. Unfortunately in our wee country we are classed as enemies of the state (if that’s the correct term)
I know that if you had heard the personal accounts that Spotlight have heard, and how it’s affected these gentlemen and their families then you would do the same.
This takes time and effort from a group of people that are just like you. We’re nothing special. We just decided to take it on.
What makes us proud is that people are listening. Not only journalists, but others use our research.
Nobody took us seriously when we started. Times have changed. The reason Spotlight continues is we state facts.
We thank you for all your kind words and please remember the people who suffered. A lot of them are on this forum.
Then the Lord said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness."Whiter than white piousness, that's them and their ilk from cradle to grave.

Huge respect to you @BN94 and the Spotlight team. There are very few people who will understand and appreciate fully just how difficult Spotlight's task is. Powerful people in high places don't want the truth to be known. But you are unravelling and reporting the whole poisonous affair in a way nobody in Scotland has done before.There’s a reason why we’re posting this year’s review in separate months in this thread.

Well done and we can only admire the courage of all at Spotlight.This is what Spotlight are up against. Along with some very strong allies in high positions, we’re going after every last one of them.
Whether it be judges, politicians etc., we’ll hunt them down.
What a mess our country is in.
A Scottish Sun journalist attributed a front page article to that lunatic. Katy Pagan got Marcelo Mega to scribble it.The only people that defend paedophiles are paedophiles.
As for this lunatics comments on Spotlight being bigots? Well that’s just laughable. The only other person that’s accused us of that is a certain chap named Dornan.
Contact the authorities if you have information Ronnie. Unlike your club and fans, Spotlight want justice for all the victims, regardless of who they played for.The only people that defend paedophiles are paedophiles.

We know that certain individuals from the media attend every court case and also the class action.Been following you guys at spotlight for a while now & what a professional job you all are doing keep it up wish we all could help in some way , the question I would like to ask please don't answer if this could hamper anything that spotlight is working on but has Celtic put restraints on the media reporting this like employing legal teams to keep their secrets out of the main street media .
Contact the authorities if you have information Ronnie. Unlike your club and fans, Spotlight want justice for all the victims, regardless of who they played for.
We as fans should be highlighting what these bastards have done with tifos at Ibrox so the world can see live on TV tomorrow or any other time, displays questioning the silence from the Scottish government!
Thanks for that keep up the good work we are all behind the spotlight team the truth will be told thanks to you's .We know that certain individuals from the media attend every court case and also the class action.
The only thing they aren’t allowed to do is identify any of the victims.
And so it SHOULD begin.
Sure enough 10 Hail Marys, and 10 our fathers, absolved of their sins.Whiter than white piousness, that's them and their ilk from cradle to grave.

That’s the important thing with this clown. Facts. Something that Spotlight continually produce.Exactly SAB, we have stated it consistently.
Ronnie can’t even get simple facts right. He has a convenient & error ridden memory.
He asked why one guy wasn’t included in the SFA Review, who WAS in it, but ignored a handful of others who were excluded from it.
I’m sure you know the common denominator.
Well said BBThey knew in the 70s it was going on...they covered it up
They knew in the 80s it was going on....they covered it up
The knew in the 90s it was going on....they covered it up

One day Mackania, the dominoes will start to fall.I see Alex Renton has investigated a former teacher at Fettes college who went on to become a primary teacher in South Africa that abused again. This was on Radio Scotland's news this morning. He is now charged which is great.
These stories take on an even greater sadness than before however, if that's at all possible, because we know of the neglect suffered at Celtic both in the abuse of the boys there and the subsequent cover up and stonewalling by the media/authorities. When you hear of investigations into a teacher's actions, and the gravitas it's afforded by the reporting, then it makes you sick that such a massive story can be deemed unworthy of proper investigation by the powers that be, all for their own gain.
That is truly shocking!! Scumbags the lot of them ..
I hope the victims get closure this year and all the factions that colluded get sued by those abused in USA those being MEDIA, politicians, the Kelly's SFA and UEFASo what are we expecting to happen this year?
Another year closer to justice ?
(Or)
Justice actually served and that horrible club exposed and made to pay?
Interesting that it's now impossible to find any video clips on-line of Martin Henry discussing the SFA 'enquiry' (or maybe I'm not digging deeply enough). Wonder why that might be?
If you the history.That re-brand to St Patrick's Sports Academy just stinks of trying to wash away history and trying to come out holier than thou, utter frauds the lot of them.
If you need paper, ink or stationary let me know and I’m happy to help out.If it was similar to the Adrian film, we would ask Noddy. Around 900 people including you contributed to that.
Normal day to day stuff, we Chuck in ourselves as a team, as BN94 mentioned.
Thank you.
