Starting to look like Gerry McSherry was right about the scale of this abuse.
There is an arrest warrant out but they won't name him. Pathetic his face should be all over the front pages and news until he's caught
Who was it that said he gave the police a list with 14 names?
Now, let's say he's telling the truth...that means they haven't even caught half of them yet.
Police Scotland say their investigation identified 153 victims of child sexual abuse in Scottish football, resulting in 13 arrests.
WTF was that about? "The police told me to stick to my story!!" Eh?? Isn't that something your criminal lawyer would tell you?They've already told him to stick to his story apparently, so don't hold your breath.
North south east and west. Paedos are everywhere. From the lowest to the highest in the land. Plenty if these investiagations have been shut down when they find out some high heid yin is involved. Its well documented that MI5 and 6 have used this information against high ranking paedos over tge years to do their bidding.You begin to wonder if people in high places in this Country are part of a paedo ring because of the lack of effort to make top level enquiries and take any action . No wonder the filthy midden was nicknamed Paradise , it should have been called Paedo Paradise .
I think he has massively understated the scale. The more you Google these characters the more obvious it is that it is a widespread disease. From aristocrats to paupers.Starting to look like Gerry McSherry was right about the scale of this abuse.

so who were the others arrested at that time
Oooooft savage matewould it be easier for everyone that worked there to prove the were not a paedo?
Every single Celtc fan is scum. They knowingly support a club that facilitated paedophiles. There is no getting away from that. No decent person could do that.The Celtic fans are beyond contempt
They’ve got the power to demand answers
They could boycott
They could march to the stadium
They could have a silent protest
They could demand of the government to act
But they don’t
They do nothing bar the odd point score accusations
They will continue to fund them
A disgraceful
Can you believe that PS are allowing possibly 12 or even more paedophiles to live their lives free ?
They couldve been in our streets abusing our kids.

the police ignored a 999 call of an accident on a major motorway
the way they have been politicised i'd put NOTHING past them
read the post in the other thread about the lawrence haggert murder
they tried to pin the murder on one of the boy's brothers
You probably know the answer to that Sam.Is there no end to the depravity at that club?

Celtic scout' claim coach accused of child sex attacks hunted by police

A former football coach who claimed to be a scout for Celtic is wanted by police over claims he carried out a string of child sex attacks.
The ‘scout’, now 75, was the subject of a complaint to police in 2015 from a man now in his 60s. Another man later came forward with more claims of abuse.
The coach is alleged to have preyed on children in the 60s and 70s.
It is alleged by his accusers that the scout – who was involved in schools and youth football in Renfrewshire – abused boys repeatedly at a house in Paisley and at a property in Argyll and Bute.
One alleged victim has told the Record that his alleged abuser was friendly with Celtic Boys Club beasts Jim Torbett, 71, and Frank Cairney, 84, who are both now in jail.

He claims the coach tried to impress youngsters with a Celtic ID card signed by a senior figure at the club and describing him as an official scout.
The scout can’t be named for legal reasons but Police Scotland have confirmed there is a warrant for his arrest. Speaking exclusively to the Record, an alleged victim of the scout said: “I was abused by this man over years, repeatedly.
“His power over boys stemmed from the fact that he carried a card saying he was a scout with Celtic FC. He would show it all the time because it gave him status.”
He added: “The abuse happened at a house in Argyll and at my own house in Paisley between 1968 and the early 70s.
“I took this to the police in 2015. They were brilliant in the way they dealt with me but nothing seems to have happened since. I want justice.
“He was a young teacher. All the guys liked him and thought he was a good guy.
“He ran the football team in second year at school and would take boys to Celtic games, in the European Cup.
“At weekends, he would take boys to Argyll. That’s where I was first abused. I remember trying to get to sleep that night wondering what had happened. I was so naive.

“Other boys were there. I believe they were being abused as well. He would take three boys to Argyll at a time.
“A friend of mine, who is sadly deceased now, was also abused. I know of another victim who has spoken to police.”
It is claimed the abuser was so convincing he was able to befriend an alleged victim’s parents to the point where he would stay at their house.
The victim said he tried to commit suicide when he was still being abused as a child. The abuse stopped when he was 14 and he went on to play for the scout’s teams as a young adult.
He says that he and another alleged victim, who is now dead, were contacted by police in the mid-90s. They were asked whether they were abused by the scout.
He said: “I told the police nothing. I then spoke to my friend and asked if he’d been contacted. He said he had but had also said nothing.
“It was the first time we’d talked about the abuse between ourselves. When we were young, it was never talked about. Later I think we tried to remove it from our minds.
“I regret not telling the police in the 90s. Another victim must have contacted them and our testimonies would have helped.

“I regret not speaking out then but I had young children and I wanted to forget the whole thing.
“But in later life, I’ve become more and more affected by what went on when I was young. I feel I was robbed of my childhood. Now, I feel robbed of something as simple as justice.”
The witness the scout’s teams would regularly play Torbett’s Celtic BC teams.
He said: “There were boys in our youth teams that went on to play for Torbett or Cairney at Celtic Boys’ Club.
“They had strong links and the scout was clearly friends with both Torbett and Cairney.”
It is feared the perpetrator of the abuse may now be living abroad.
Police Scotland confirmed that a warrant has been issued for the alleged abuser. The Crown Office confirmed that the case is “live”. Celtic FC made no comment.
In May, the Record revealed that Celtic FC investigated and cleared boys’ club leaders in 1986, describing claims against them as “scurrilous”.
Some of Torbett’s abuse of boys happened after that investigation.
Celtic revealed last month that they have been carrying out a new two-year investigation into the abuse claims at Celtic BC.
I reckon they have a few skeletons in their cupboards and are keeping quiet to avoid suspicion.you have to wonder when the sfa/spfl will raise its head
Hence the place men holding the keys to the cupboards ...I reckon they have a few skeletons in their cupboards and are keeping quiet to avoid suspicion.
As someone (probably a poster here) once retorted to yahoo filth giving it the “yooz ur deid!!” slabbers ....
“I’d rather die with our history than live with yours .....”
Nonce harbouring scum, and completely unrepentant about it.
Hopefully another child molester at #celtic knew, will get what's coming to him.Seen posted already inside another thread but needs highlighted

"I gave them the names in 1995 and 1996. They only arrested Torbett and Cairney at the time.4 years after a complaint is made and the unnamed suspect is still free to abuse
Police Scotland are a joke
"I gave them the names in 1995 and 1996. They only arrested Torbett and Cairney at the time.
"Clearly, serious questions need to be asked of the police."
McSherry at least tried to do the right thing the Police covered it up.
Was expecting a skid mark or two there !
23 years ago McSherry gave the police that list of 14 people he suspected were paedos at Parkpaed
I’d love to know how many he listed are already convicted and who were the other suspects
A disgrace that it’s taken all these years to get them convicted and how many other kids have been abused in that time !!
F.ucking disgrace
The Celtic fans are beyond contempt
They’ve got the power to demand answers
They could boycott
They could march to the stadium
They could have a silent protest
They could demand of the government to act
But they don’t
They do nothing bar the odd point score accusations
They will continue to fund them
A disgraceful
How many of them may still be alive?Who was it that said he gave the police a list with 14 names?
Now, let's say he's telling the truth...that means they haven't even caught half of them yet.
Funnily enough so do I and this is what I have requested in a FOI to the police earlier today.
“Can you please supply me with information regarding Gerry McSherry who reported to the police in the mid 1990s that 14 named individuals were suspected of being paedophiles associated with Glasgow Celtic FC.
I would specifically be interested in knowing if any of the 14 names supplied by him to the police have been prosecuted and if they were, how many and who they are.”
