Jock Stein signed autographs at a business run by Jim Torbett a decade after he kicked him out of Celtic Boys Club for molesting boys.


The football manager granted permission for Torbett to start the feeder club in 1966, but dismissed him eight years later after hearing about allegations of abuse.


However, in March 1984 The Glasgow Evening Times reported that Stein, manager of Scotland at the time, would be making a “personal appearance” at a branch of Torbett’s Trophy Centre on Kilmarnock Road in Glasgow.


Kevin Kelly, the Celtic FC chairman between 1991 and 1994, was a director of the Trophy Centre from 1989 until 2005, long after Torbett was first convicted and jailed. Mr Kelly and Jack McGinn, another former Celtic FC chairman who was also employed at the Trophy Centre, both strongly deny having any previous knowledge of Torbett’s offending.


Gerald King, a former Celtic Boys Club chairman who was convicted of abusing children in 2018, also had a job at the centre. Celtic FC had a long-term deal with the firm, reported to be worth £250,000 a year, which did not end until 2002.


At that time the club said: “Celtic had a long-term contractual obligation with the Trophy Centre. This has now lapsed.”


Torbett resigned as director of the centre in 2000 but it is not known when he left his position with Celtic FC’s retail arm.


In 2018 the High Court in Glasgow heard that one of his victims, now aged 37, was abused at Trophy Centre premises in the Pollokshaws area of the city.
 
I am sure the exact date was 17th March being St Patricks Day. That mob never cease to amaze me with their thirst for exploitation.

A long term contractual obligation you say? As in hush money to keep the secrets? Stopping Torbett for spilling all the beans of how many were involved in a paedophile ring at Celtic Park? Celtic are up to their fúcking necks in it.
 
Ran him out of paradise don’t ya know!Fu*king liars everyone of them.Large John was aware.He was up to his fat jowls in it.Protected and hid these cun*s atrocities.Guilty as them and in any civilised world he would be named and shamed along with the scumbags that done it.This country makes me sick.Journalists(I know I know) protect them as well.As guilty as the rest.

There must have been legal documents signed for Torbett to run that as they used the club badge. Otherwise it would be copyright infringements.
 
Everything about that rancid club is rotten. They have no moral compass, no compassion, no decency. They have been an affront to our nation since the day they were formed. The club should be closed down and the crime scene at Parkhead should be raised to the ground as an example of how this country deals with paedophiles and those who cover up paedophilia.

Stein was Scotland National Coach and head of youth Development in 1984.
 
The man who knew too much.
Large John.
Signed autographs in the presence of a man he knew was a beast.
Turned a blind eye for a brown envelope.
The scum seen fit to erect a statue of this man outside the chamber of secrets.
Their only defence is separate entity.
Their only hope is the SNP protecting them.
Shame on them all.
 
But, but, journos up here for years have said that Stein didn't know anything about Torbett's crimes, and that it was all a vile internet rumour started by Rangers fans to discredit the ex-Celtc Manager. ? :rolleyes:
 
Heinous Times, chosing the World Children's Day for these two naughty articles. How many little Hooped Horrors will be crying and be wrecked for life now?

£250k A YEAR!.... for trophies? Were they diamond encrusted ffs? Sounds like hush money to me.....

As said on the other thread the Scottish Government has exempted Organised Sports Clubs from their historic child abuse inquiry.

It is absolutely disgusting that rape is considered acceptable if it was done in a certain circumstance by our Government.

How can this be legal to exempt any person or organisation involved in a crime?

Well, you just need to look at the outcry from the opposition parties. Which was nothing.

Scotland is a fascist state, that is run by RCs.

If you don't get, or can't get your head around something so simple, and is openly and brazenly staring you in the puss, then you are in denial.

If Gordon Woods-is proven right then Stein KNEW in 1968 about Torbett’s abuse.

Takes their argument that he was kicked out by Stein immediately as pure bullshit potentially ?

How do dismiss someone from a separate entity?

Yet the Celtic View magazines from even the early 90's had Boys Club match reports, much as you would expect to see a clubs youth teams reports on websites in the present day.

But no, definitely a separate entity :mad:

Celtic’s training ground, barrowfield, was Celtic Boys Clubs home park too Reid. I’ve been to many games there against CBC.

There’s so many links it’s untrue.
