Craig Gordon insists Celtic have proved they are not inferior to the elite clubs in the Champions League.

If losing nine goals without reply in two games  isn't inferior then what exactly is. 

Who is the moron that is encouraging them to come out with this dross time after time?

The Scottish FA is supporting a campaign to encourage anyone with knowledge of child abuse in football to speak out.

It has backed a dedicated NSPCC helpline set up for victims of sexual abuse in the game.

The move comes after a number of former players in England revealed they were abused by coaches as youngsters.

The charity told BBC Scotland it had received calls from across the UK since it was launched on Thursday.

Former Manchester City and England player David White is among several who claim they were abused by former Crewe Alexandra coach Barry Bennell.

The 62-year-old was jailed in 1998 for sex offences against children and was imprisoned again last year.

In the same year, James Torbett, a former football manager of Celtic boys club, was convicted of abusing three young players, including Alan Brazil.

Donna Martin, the Scottish FA's child wellbeing and protection manager, said: "The safety and wellbeing of children is of paramount importance to the Scottish FA, and significant steps have been taken to ensure that their protection is integral to Scottish football's decision-making processes.

"The Scottish FA takes its role as the governing body of the national game seriously.

"We would urge anyone with any information relating to abuse or inappropriate behaviour - whether current or historic - to get in touch via the NSPCC's helpline, or childrenswellbeing@scottishfa.co.uk."

Scotland's Commissioner for Children and Young People, Tam Baillie, told BBC Radio Scotland the latest allegations may be the tip of the iceberg.

"I fear we are on the brink on many more revelations," he said.

Speaking on the Good Morning Scotland programme, he said: "I think we should commend people who've been brave enough to speak out and certainly the early signs are very worrying."

The commissioner praised the SFA for the speed of its response to the allegations.

He said: "The cultural shift that's required is that people feel confident that when they come forward they will be believed, whereas previously we know from painful experience that's not been the case.

"I think there's been an encouraging shift towards belief rather than trying to deal with it by sweeping it under the carpet and not acknowledging it."

He added: "If any good can come of this, it would shift that macho culture to be much more willing to look at how we better protect children in all sports to ensure we don't have a repetition."

On the same programme, John Cameron of the NSPCC, said the new helpline had received calls from people with information about historic abuse from across the UK.

It has also been alerted to concerns about possible abuse to children currently involved in the game.

He said the response was very similar to that which followed the exposure of Jimmy Savile's crimes.

Both instances were an "abuse of authority and power", he said.

"There were people in authority, in the past, where allegations have been made against them, where people found it extremely difficult to speak out," he added.

"And if you look at the victims who came to our helplines during the Savile, Operation Yewtree investigation, we're hearing very similar tales of the difficulty, not being taken seriously if you did speak out, fearful of the implications if you did so."

Mr Cameron said some of the information the NSPCC had received had been passed on to the police.

"There are a number of people who have given us potential identifying information of alleged offenders and we are liaising directly with the police up and down the UK," he said.

He said background checks on potential employees were only as good as the information held on the individual by police and courts.

And he called for "robust recruitment processes" which would prevent potential abusers obtaining jobs in football.

it will be interesting to see which media outlet first utters the words "Celtic" when child abuse in football is discussed. We know it wont be the BBC thats for sure, but someone will, then link the Saville pictures with celtic, etc.

Its a story that could really make a young reporters career. All it needs is a little shove.

The problem being mate is it won't be a young reporters decision, but more of an editorial decision, and not one of them has shown any inclination to tackle this story in decades.

edit, just saw above post, well I'll be fucked.

Some of the victims have already spoken out, it's unfair to put them through that again. It's now time for SFA to do their fucking job and investigate why this pedophile was allowed to continue working with children when this vile football club had knowledge of what was going on.

Aye, Crewe are claiming they knew nothing about it, which could be true, but we all know that Big Jock did know

If the English FA find out that Crewe did know I think we all know there going to get hammered. Can we say the same if SFA  finally get their act together and figure it out, it barely takes fucking Sherlock to do it either.

At the time did the victims say the Club knew and did nothing or was it something that came out years later?

The important fact is that it has come out and to date there has been a complete dereliction of duty by the authorities to bring this vile football club to task.

What is even worse is that they re employed the bastard, what a kick in the teeth that must have been to his victims, evil vile bastards.

Multiple Celts in a kids house talking to him in private. Standard.

[Jimfanciesthedude 25,623]

if ever there was a picture to describe that clubs sordid and shameful past

all it would have taken was one phonecall, one simple message to the authorities and celtic would have looked the bigger man in these recent cases, instead their club will now be sitting in a darkened room absolutely shitting themselves as the whole world finally realises just what values that club really does fucking hold

Sick, disgusting, criminal bastards, shutting the club down to protect any kids in the future would only be the start

[markem 7,407]

So all of a sudden the Scottish FA give a fuck? - They have ignored the conduct of CFC for how long and now they are scrambling around pretending to have the morals they categorically lack.
