At half a million each (surely to Christ a destroyed childhood is worth that?) and around 200 victims, that’s potentially £100m. It will also be interesting to see if they are demonised and ostracised as Prince Andrew was because the scale of their crimes makes Andrew look like Atticus Finch. One of if not the biggest cover ups in British history. kelvd1873 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Specky Forum Organiser 69,511 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 CELTIC GROUP LITIGATION UPDATE Thompsons Solicitors are pleased to confirm that Celtic Plc have indicated their intention to enter settlement negotiations within the context of the Celtic Group Proceedings Litigation. This litigation relates to cases of historical abuse at Celtic Boys Club by convicted paedophiles, James Torbett and Frank Cairney. Celtic Plc have not formally admitted liability or made any other formal concessions but their desire to now enter negotiations to explore the possibility of a settlement of this action has been made clear. This means that parties will ask the Court to adjourn the forthcoming proof to allow work to be undertaken to value individual cases. We appreciate that there has been significant public interest in this action and hope that this comment clarifies the current situation. There will be no further comment at this stage from Thompsons or our clients. Please do not contact our clients directly for comment. We are grateful for this position being respec Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somemightsay7 3,098 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 The most important thing is victims get proper compensation/acknowledgment. Anyone thinking/hoping this will have any meaningful impact on Celtics ability on the pitch I think are wide of the mark. plymouthranger and Ladytonbear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 77,479 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I’d imagine the victims will wish to settle out of court to save a further upset that going to court would cause. All i will say though and i don’t want to sound crass, when they start paying out it may open the floodgates for further people to come forward.

Popular Post TEFTONG 61,238 Posted September 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2023 2 hours ago, PromDeAnglais said: This is them now attempting to cover up the cover up. Settle out of court but with strict NDAs etc that stop any more discussions or ramifications. It appears they now know they're about to get their arses handed to them and need to stop before it becomes a financial and reputational disaster for them. It's the Prince Andrew approach of paying the victims off now before it becomes a media circus. It's shite but at least the victims will receive some justice - but not enough justice will be thrown at the paedophile ring of a club. They had stv this afternoon state that the boys club wasn't affiliated with the Club. Which is surely what the court case was going to prove. It's another attempt to weasel out of liability. Scum.
