I mentioned Neil Strachan a couple of times on page 1 where the court documents for his case are also posted. He worked at Celtic East boys club in Edinburgh and was found to be part of the country’s worst ever paedophile ring.

He is HIV positive. Many Images were found on his devices. One showed an 18 month old toddler being raped by somebody likely to be Strachan according to experts.


It doesn’t get any clearer than this.
Celtic say here that THEY started the boys club in Edinburgh.
They were responsible for what happened.
They recruited The horrific Paedophile Neil Strachan for the Edinburgh Boys Club AFTER his first conviction.

Most of the crimes in this Celtic scandal are historic although more and more predators are being exposed.

There’s a very recent case in the past couple of weeks where one of their players asked a 15 year old fan for pictures on Instagram. He asked using a camera emoji rather than words so the police investigated but said they couldn’t find criminality. She isn’t the only one either.

Celtic have carried out their own internal investigation and anybody who has read the previous pages will know how those go. He’s now back in the squad for a match tomorrow.

It may be understandable that getting a criminal conviction due to emoji’s would be difficult but for a football club with the history of Celtic you’d think they’d act decisively. But no, the cover ups continue, especially if there’s a financial incentive.

I said earlier in the thread that McGinn and Kelly are names that run right through this scandal. They held high executive positions at Celtic and the Scottish Football Association. Kelly along with known predators confronted the then celtic photographer who had raised concerns and forced him out while predators carried on abusing. The photographer was replaced by John Cullen who was later convicted of possessing 250 photos of naked children. McGinn and Kelly were given positions in Torbetts Trophy Centre company.

You’d think people would want to investigate how all this was allowed to happen to learn and prevent predators ever having this power over children again. But not in Scotland and not at the SFA. The review failed to uncover any of these connections.

Did the SFA cover this up to protect themselves or was it to help Celtic continue their own cover up?
Publishing of the review was delayed for years as it was sent back and forth for Celtic to edit. The outcome was celtic being mentioned a couple of times, once to THANK them for their child protection. It would be funny if not so serious.

Were these SFA links used by celtic to bully the SFA and ensure the SFA review was celtic friendly or did the SFA have people who just wanted to help celtic anyway?

The corruption involved for a governing body to go to these lengths over such an issue is off the scale. To do so under the guise of doing the right thing and learning lessons is disgusting.

More about Neil Strachan. He was first convicted of indecency in 1985. Celtic then employed him in the 1990s.

Excerpt from The Sun:


Strachan was married, working as secretary of Celtic East Boys’ Club and refereeing kids football matches.

He was arrested for repeatedly molesting one of the lads over a two-year period and resigned from the club. When he was then jailed for three years for lewd and libidinous behaviour, it emerged Strachan had been handed a year’s probation for indecency when he was just 17.

I’ve mentioned before that celtic said they investigated complaints at the boys club and found allegations to be scurrilous. Imagine the position this left any boys who were abused. Finding out there was a supposed investigation and the club sided with the predators. The predators had all the power over these boys footballing futures.

The first clip here from 1986 tells us that the Celtic board investigated Celtic boys club and found nothing wrong calling them scurrilous stories.
The second clip from 1987 says they are stronger since the criticism.
What they did was make it harder for anyone to come forward.

As I’ve said, the names Kelly and McGinn run right through this scandal. Both held high positions within Celtic and Scottish football.

Although they held very high positions within a huge football club they were also employed by one of the predators in his Trophy Centre business. Was this web weaved to give the predators power or were these “plum jobs” within the Trophy Centre a reward for people turning a blind eye and allowing access to boys? A full and independent inquiry would ask these questions and lessons could be learnt about how these people operate.

More about Martin Henry and James Rennie.
As mentioned previously the Scottish Football Association, Scottish footballs governing body headhunted Martin Henry to carry out their review of child abuse within Scottish football.

James Rennie is a ringleader of the biggest and worst paedophile ring the country has ever seen.
Here’s a few lines from a BBC article on Rennie:

James Rennie is serving a life sentence for sexually assaulting a three-month-old and for conspiring to get access to children in order to abuse them.

Rennie, from Edinburgh, was ordered to serve a minimum of 13 years in jail.


spotlight have posted a pictures on their Twitter account of Hendry and Rennie together.



“Front left of this group is Martin Henry who was deemed fit to run the SFA report into child abuse.

The man extreme left at the back is his business partner James Rennie who is one of the worst Paedophiles in Scottish legal history.”



https://twitter.com/spotlight_cfc66/status/1431928709678764036?s=21

Any right minded person would be asking what the Governing body’s motives really were when carrying out the review which victims have called a whitewash.

Frank Cairney has apparently had more new charges and will appear in court on Monday the 6th September. It seems never ending but nobody in Scotland appears to want to get to the bottom of it and learn how all this was orchestrated to prevent it ever happening again.

In the link to STV Twitter below, Ex Celtic kitman and youth coach Jim McCafferty speaking when he handed himself in to police.

He has 13 convictions, 12 of which are for assaulting young football players.

He’s also the man who befriended and visited murdered youth player Lawrence Haggart. McCafferty had called Lawrence at his home a few hours before Lawrence was killed inside his house while his family slept upstairs.

A lot of people familiar with the case think huge mistakes were made in the case and want it reinvestigated.

2 predators in court on new historic abuse charges and the Celtic CEO resigns. Are the dots being joined to make a 5 decades old ring?

Does anybody have any thoughts on a murder victim having his feet burnt on the fire and ‘110’ being carved into the body? Seems very symbolic.

Why would the chairman of Celtic FC be rooming with a known paedophile on a trip abroad with Celtic Boys Club? The paedophile abused a player on the trip.

Why would the Celtic FC manager in waiting be staying at the home of a known peadophile on the lead up to his appointment?
