There was an email exchange in 2017 between Mark Daly and someone I know in which he stated that he did not believe that the paedos at Celtic were linked.
He could have exposed this years ago,It wouldn’t surprise me if he had been given the heads up on this story because they knew his approach to the story could limit the damage.
26 years ago the boys club I ran played their boys club in a cup tie on arrival they were dressed in the scum blazers and flannels ,manager players and coaches ,I asked their manager if they were part of the Celtic club ,his answer to me was yes we are the Celtic clubs under 15 s who do you think kitted all my boys out we are representing Celtic today ,that was 26 years ago in Irvine.
Paying out is an admission of guilt not a gesture to get the victims off their back. This mob are brainwashed. I think even if they came out and openly admitted it they'd have fans saying it's fake or they stand by the club. Sickos
Whether the victims decide to settle out of court or not I believe the authorities have the responsibility to take the scandal more seriously and take action against the club.
Until the SNP are out and all their placemen this will get settled and never spoken about again. Hopefully they take them all the way but it's their choice at the end of the day
No offence mate but the "typical Celtic " response adds little to a serious point. Celtic admit to conducting their own investigations as far back as the mid 80's so they can't claim ignorance
They knew the story would come out and hand picked this cretin. Everything he says publicly will have been ok’d by that bastardised football team prior.

In Glaswegian where two positives equal a negative, “aye, right”.
How can Celtic FC, on the one hand, claim under their insurance and on the other maintain that it was the Celtic Boys’ Club, a “separate entity” which was responsible?
That's the way he sounded to me when he was on Reporting Scotland earlier this evening.
Keep it in the news? Radio Clyde will have it on their news bulletins but you won't be allowed on air to discuss it.
He can't find any evidence to prove it ? That didn't stop him insinuating that Rangers didn't inform the police about Neely when he didn't find any evidence to prove it. It wasn't for him "innocent till proven guilty" when he was talking about Rangers.There was an email exchange in 2017 between Mark Daly and someone I know in which he stated that he did not believe that the paedos at Celtic were linked.
Also the Record having to apologise in 2017 for erroneously claiming that Neely abused players at Rangers when he never committed ANY abuse at us.
The rest of scottish football makes me sick,particularly fans of other clubs,they don't care.
It’s what’s known as a ‘limited hangout’.
Wasn,t having a go mate.just seems strange that celtic have had two internal investigations or so they claim and basically came out with nothing to see here.they are accepting no liability but are offering to settle which to me shows they are liable

Daily Mail not really reporting it brief news agency report you have to use search tool to find. They advertise there for some reason 10 or 12 stories on Brand
This is what needs raised at high levels. The bigger picture outwith these poor victims. Tip of the iceberg.
How could any fan continue to support them?
The replies to some of the threads on twitter show their apathy. They do not give a flying for the multiple victims. It’s brutal really but totally unsurprising.
Link is a red herring.
It's more a reputational saving exercise imo, they've been saving for this moment for years. They are terrified of any open court and the 30 years of abuse secrets being exposed to the public. Prove the abuse in court and they could feasible be liable to sporting sanctions as well.
Two of cfc directors are ex Labour MPs
They have known for years and preferred to bury their collective heads in the sand most of them claiming that it was all a points scoring exercise by big bad Rangers supporters in an effort to make their club look bad, but now with this offer from celtic to settle out of court they will have to take their collective heads out of the sand and face the fact that all the allegations are true, their response should be interesting.
I thought that was actually quite a good report on the BBC from Mark Daly replaying him going over to the States to confront Torbett and other clips showing Torbett and Stein at what I think were celtic boys club functions
They came after us so we wouldn't win.
I’m sure some of them will be considering their options now that Celtic have admitted their guilt
The guys in charge of inquiries and setting about investigations will be their SNP chums
