Survivors are feeling more and more let down with all these delays. They waited decades and plucked up the courage to come forward and push for justice. Some feel all these delays are in the hope their abusers die before they can be brought to justice. If true, questions should be asked about who is controlling this and their role in all of it.

Spotlight: Our understanding of the redress scheme is that, not only is it likely that any compensation payments would be minimal, since the payments come from the tax payer (including the victim themselves), it absolves the perpetrators or the organisations which harboured them,

Andrew Gray was a victim of abuse at Celtic. He sadly passed away but had told his family what had happened to him. His family are fighting for justice.

Celtic is a club affiliated with Catholicism since it was founded. Victims have described the SFA review as a whitewash. It seems the SFA had quite a sinister agenda while carrying out this review. There’s plenty of information on this thread about the man headhunted to carry out the review and his connections.

Tweet: “A question I’ve asked myself over & over again the past few weeks….Why was the religion of Andrew, my Late Father, my Mother my sibling & I, of such importance to the SFA #CSA Inquiry Team when I met with them in February 2018, 4 months after Andrews death?”

Jim McCafferty left his position at Celtic FC straight after young Lawrence Haggart had been murdered by another paedophile.

His victim John Gaffney would go on to take his own life after telling Celtic about his abuse.
How many others were there?

Read the text in this report.

Here we show you two different men involved at Celtic FC/Celtic Boys Club.

The Celtic board treated them very differently which resulted in many more players being abused.

The man who tried to save young players from being abused was forced out while the paedophile was backed.

Regarding previous post. As mentioned previously in the thread, when Birt was forced out after raising concerns on behalf of victims, he was also photographer for the boys club. He was replaced by John Cullen who was later convicted of possessing 250 images of naked boys kept in a bin bag at celtic park. Whistle blower chased out to be replaced by a predator. Hard to imagine how the victims who confided in Hugh Birt felt as this unfolded. Trapped and powerless, surrounded by a ring of paedophiles being protected by at the highest echelons of the club.

Daily Record 19/1/22:
The article doesn’t mention which football club but this is a Celtic scout who is being extradited.

“A former youth football coach is being extradited to Scotland from Vietnam to face historic allegations of child sex abuse.

Kenneth Divers was arrested under an Interpol Red Notice on Tuesday, January 18, and is being brought back to the UK by law enforcement officials.

The 77-year-old, who is understood to be flying into Heathrow Airport in London, will then be transported north of the border by Police Scotland officers.


Divers, a former teacher at a secondary school, is set to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court in the coming days, sources have confirmed

His arrest was carried out by Vietnamese authorities and was supported by the National Crime Agency at the request of Police Scotland.

Scottish and European warrants for his arrest were issued in 2016 after he was accused of carrying out a string of sex attacks on young boys in the 60s and 70s.

Another one at Celtic.


A YOUTH football coach who worked for clubs including Celtic has been accused of a string of child sex offences.

Mark McAuley, 32, ran training sessions for the Celtic Soccer Academy for kids in Scotland and Ireland two years ago before being axed.

@Scotchcorner thank you for all of this information. You've left me feeling quite speechless but it needs to be known.

Below is a tweet from Gordon Woods, one of the victims currently fighting for justice. Blocked on Twitter by government ministers.

Tweet: I've never been rude, aggressive, or used bad language but I did ask quite a few awkward questions? In the case of Slater and Harvie I've never communicated diectly with them but they don't like me anyway. These are only the ones I've checked.

This paedophile was allowed to return to Celtic after abusing their players.

They also honoured him along with the man that kicked him out only four years after his removal.

He was allowed to regularly sit in the Celtic directors box and run their shops after the abuse.
