celtic Boys Club founder Jim Torbett has been convicted of sexually abusing three boys over an eight-year period.

Torbett, 71, was found guilty after a trial at the High Court in Glasgow. He had denied the charges.

Two of his victims were youth players with the club, Kenny Campbell and Andrew Gray, who had waived their right to anonymity.

Mr Gray died last year, but statements he gave to police before his death were read out during the trial.

Jurors had heard that Torbett, of Kelvindale, Glasgow, targeted the schoolboys between August 1986 and August 1994.


The third victim said he had been abused as a five-year-old when he visited the Trophy Centre, which was owned by Torbett.

There were tears in the public gallery as the verdict was announced.
