Thanks for the incredible memories Goalie. 100% Rangers legend. 
He'll always be THE Rangers goalkeeper to me, he was there when I discovered Rangers and is completely synonymous with the role. 

And I stand by saving people the hassle. Honestly try to do a favour and some cunts moan.

What a boy, representing the club at his old school I would think.

Statement from Parks of Hamilton Ltd

A spokesperson for Parks of Hamilton Ltd said: “We were not surprised to learn from the media announcement last night that the SPFL have finally acknowledged Rangers legitimately engaged rule i7 in June of last year and thus, vindicated the stance held by the club for over a year. It is not for us to speculate as to why the SPFL leadership sought to ignore their own rules for so long.

“The fact that the SPFL prevaricated and continued to stall an arbitration process they themselves initiated in August last year, and which was ruled upon by the court of appeal in October, underlined the weakness of the case they truly had. Were it not for our interim interdict, it is clear their strategy was to try and bully one of their members and shareholders; a strategy which they have employed on numerous occasions.

“Throughout the last year, Park’s have kept their counsel as the SPFL leadership insulted us and misled the SFA, their member clubs, their title sponsor, and various other stakeholders in Scottish football. 

“We have a long standing and proud association with Scottish football, and it was entirely wrong that we were compelled to take the SFA to court because the SPFL decided to abuse the SFA’s arbitration process. We believe that the SPFL and members of its leadership have brought the game in to disrepute and have failed, as have the SPFL as an organisation, to act with the utmost good faith towards their members.

“The SFA must carry out an independent investigation into this issue which has cost all parties involved hundreds of thousands of pounds. Despite being awarded expenses in court, Park’s will not recover all their legal fees nor be compensated for the reputational damage caused by the SPFL.

“Finally, the glaring omission from the SPFL’s statement was an apology. The SPFL leadership owe their members an apology, they owe Park's an apology, they owe the SFA an apology and they also owe an apology to Rangers. Unfortunately, they seem to lack any accountability and would rather spend their members money than admit their failures.”
 

Nice touch. Good old Jimmy.
 

Not child abuse but I work in injury claims so the same sort of principles apply. While this is a group action all the claims will be different in terms of effect and value. The length of the abuse is only relevant in how it affects the outcome.
Some people will have gone on to work normally but will still get damages for the psychological effect. Others not unreasonably will potentially have become recluses and not worked at all or never fulfilled their potential. They may have needed a lot of looking after. That leads to more damages. Some killed themselves tragically. That leaves bereft relatives who will also be entitled to claim. 
I suspect at present thompsons main focus is in establishing liability. They need to establish that celtic owed these kids a duty of care. From a professional point of view I think they will succeed in that. Kids are vulnerable. The duty is higher. Once that's done they get busy on quantifying the claims. 
It's not just the damages though. The costs of pursuing and defending it will be huge. I'd suspect that while it would be preferable for them to come up with standard values it wouldn't work that way. 
Just remember thompsons and their lawyers will have big teams ploughing through loads of documents and statements at £100-£200 per hour.
Sorry I don't post much but I hope this is helpful. The long and short is this could prove massively expensive. Even more so because these kids were full of potential. On their way to being professional footballers. If they end up a basket case their potential earnings come in to play. 
I'm happy to try to explain more. I'm not qualified in Scotland but I deal with some Scottish cases for medical malpractice. The principles are broadly similar. 
As for non disclosure there would still be the admission damages were paid. And in most right thinking peoples book that means guilty.  

A wee calf mate.

Looking forward to refreshing the transfer forum every half hour once it has opened up

What an amazing performance. 2nd half we were outstanding. With  Roofe or Morelos playing, we win that 3 or 4.
The tears have been rolling since Mcgregor came on. 

Stretch the budget to buy Simms from Everton?!
