Hugh Keevins slams 'scurrilous allegations' surrounding Celtic Boys Club discussion on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sp...ic-boys-club-clyde1-superscoreboard-phone-in/
Keevins joining in on the cover up...there you go!
Shug knew, mate.Hugh Keevans has been around Filth FC all of his career, I believe since the late sixties, and would have been more than aware of every type of gossip that emanated from the House Of Sin.
He would have heard all about Big Jock kicking Torbett out of the club, he would have heard all about the scandal over in the USA that saw the hugely respected Cairney step down on his return.
Perhaps the bold Hugh saw those matters swept under the Celtic Park carpet and never himself thought it worth taking a peek at exactly what it was that was being hidden there, I mean he was only a journalist!
We may never know, we can never be sure but a lifetime as a journalist of being inside the know of Celtc Football Club and then telling the world in 2019 that all those events were carried out without having an inkling that something naughty was happening, seems ... well ... some might say stretches the fabric of credulity.
Just how useless was Hugh (and others) at their jobs?
Asked no one in the Scottish press and media ever?
I'm not one to defend him, but lets at least get the facts right.
He isn't suggesting that the Celtic Boys Club abuse claims are "scurrilous accusations."
He is saying that claims made on twitter suggesting that he has told Radio Clyde he will resign if they discuss Celtic's child abuse are not true and scurrilous accusations.
"Well we are in the journalistic profession and you have to leave your boyhood allegiances at the front desk because you are paid to talk about all clubs and you can't align yourself to a particular club."
Football matters only ?Well done Hugh.
You have made the subject more newsworthy by telling everyone you will not talk about it.
Just like your club.
Hugh knew.
Even more reason to hope they discuss it thenYes he did, and did he not also say that he would resign from RC radio if they were even to discuss it?
Mr Four priests.
Correct.I'm not one to defend him, but lets at least get the facts right.

That is what he is addressing in the article.Yes he did, and did he not also say that he would resign from RC radio if they were even to discuss it?
Mr Four priests.
Don’t let the truth get in the way of good thread.Bit of a misleading thread title there. He’s saying that the allegations he threatened to quit Ssb if the Celtic child abuse scandal was discussed is scurrilous, not the allegations themselves.
