    Since the club was notified of the allegations against Bob Higgins in 2016, we have worked closely with the police, the FA and the Sheldon review. We have provided our full assistance with all enquires made to the club, including identifying possible witnesses.

    During their investigation and the subsequent trials, the police provided very clear instructions to the club, telling us not to contact any victims or potential witnesses as this could have adversely impacted those trials. This included instructions to us not to make any public statement in relation to the ongoing criminal process. This means that we are unable to contact any victims and survivors until the sentences from the criminal trial have been delivered and the police have confirmed that they no longer have any objections.

    No what he's saying is that there were no direct accusations from victims or their parents, just whispers and rumours, same as Southhampton.

    No what he is say is Celtic didn't know about abuse until the 90s.

    Totally untrue .

    Stein kicked Torbett out of Celtic in 70s.

    Celtic knew and that is the whole crux of the matter.

    These are the truest words you've said in this whole ongoing witch hunt.

    It's all about Jock Stein, that's how this all began. There's no evidence at all of him kicking Torbett out of the club, none whatsover but it's now become the Holy Grail to some people, they are determined to ignore the lack of evidence just to have a cheap shot at a dead man.

    It's risible.

    Have any of the parents of the abused ever said :
    • they knew of the abuse?
    • and then told anyone about it?

    Oh but there is Evidence. Hugh Birt's testimony is evidence.

    It's not all about Jock Stein you madman. It's all about the children who were abused. You seem to care about a man's good name than you do them. That's how the *****s at Celtic got away with for so long.

    Do nothing to smear the good name.

    Sorry but thems the facts.

    What is risible is you using child abuse at another club to defend the horrible things your own club have done.

    Fùcking shameful.

    As I explained, the only man in the dock is Jock Stein, as he's not here to defend himself I don't mind doing it.

    Celtic View - Concerns in 80s...Aldo uses as source.

    Celtic View - Torbett resigns at end of season...Aldo ignores.

    It's not evidence, it was hearsay. And there is Zero "evidence" which backs him up, none, that's why I said it.

    And don't dare give me moral lectures.

    It's evidence you clown. Gave under oath in a court of law and recorded as such.

    Thought you were a law enforcement officer ffs.

    I could go into court and swear under oath that I'm the Grand Vizier of Old Cairo, that does not mean its "evidence". Simply a staement with nothing to contradict it.
