They went into full defensivel mode back in the Jock Stein era when the mantra was to ‘protect the good name of the club’ at all costs. Ergo, by refusing to report Torbett to the police, they allowed a paedophile to escape justice and therefore they were complicit in allowing a monster to continue to sexually exploit and abuse minors.
In the 21st century, it’s all about ‘protecting the brand’.
So almost half a century later the rhetoric remains unchanged. No sympathy for the defenceless victims of the horrific crimes committed by numerous odious characters employed by the club. The ‘separate entity’ claim is adding insult to injury, and again it’s all about deflection.
They are a vile club who have brought nothing but trouble and shame to our country. Hopefully it’s all about to catch up with them and the victims and their families can get their day in court.
That is so true, but what makes it much worse is that Torbett was only one of many.
Celtic FC, Sinn Fein and the Roman Catholic church are all connected by many things, and covering up paedophilia ( and therefore tacitly supporting it) is only one of them. Everything all these organisations touch is corrupted, and as they now control the Scottish media, it is inevitable that they are also corrupted.
The wonderful place, Scotland my dad used to bring to visit as a child is long gone. What is left is becoming a hate filled, decadent , fascist cesspit (and it breaks my heart to say it). This has been the plan for this unholy alliance for years, and it appears to be coming to fruition, unless decent Scotland wakes up and fights back.
Let them, it will be International news ! Maybe we should sing 'Justice for your vicTIMS'. Let the media explain that !
This is crucial. They're NOT sorry. They're sorry it's all coming back to hurt them.It’s damaging their brand and they can’t stand it .
They have no shame or remorse for what happened . Appalling
We will stop when they take responsibilityWe will keep singing about it until something is done about it.
Tick tock
All day long were up to our knees in peado bloodIt's time for us to ditch the word 19th Century Terrorist and replace it with pedo imo
ie we hate celtic pedo bas.....
and we are upto our knees in pedo scum
One of them said to me all you don is Call usThis is risky for Celtic. Real survivors organisations will have something to say. Strachan was pilloried for equating child abuse to racism.
Scotland is putrid when it comes to child abuse. Something evil is going on here. Everything possible is done to silence anyone with something to say on it. Particularly if it's about the Celtic paedophiles. Are those engaged in covering up scandalous abuse cases to be protected from public shaming. Only in Scotland could such moves get this far.
I've not heard a single Celtic supporter speak out on child abuse at their club. Every single one of them is complicit in covering up abuse in my opinion. Shame on them all.
What a load of shite. Banners calling out for the pursuance of justice for the abused are traumatic.
Some clearly think that it’s best to just ignore child abuse.
YOU ARE BETTER LETTING IT LIE, That was precisely the problem.One of them said to me all you don is Call us

Only in Scotland can a convicted Celtic boys club abuser ( or springburn teacher as the press called him ) who had a child size manikin in his house get community service but a guy who spat on another mans clothes get 8 months in prison
