According to insider information - and I have heard it from those whose word I would trust - the matter was eventually raised semi-officially inside Celtic Park. Torbett was called to a meeting at the ground. Apparently, Jock Stein - a man whose instincts were invariably right, and a man not noted for his patience - demanded explanations, found them halting and unconvincing and literally kicked the Boys Club founder out the door. The issue was raised "semi-officially" (whatever that means) to Jock Stein when he was manager. The Celtic Shop, which should have been a money-spinner, was hamstrung through basic inefficiency. Jim Torbett, either volunteered to re-organise it or was invited to do so. One of Torbett’s successful business interests was The Trophy Shop and his commercial expertise was generally recognised. In fact, he did do some good for the club in re-organising the Celtic Shop and putting it on a secure footing. Celtic employed Jim Torbett
The author of the article also practically brands him a bigot Did the author sit down and think 'Nevermind the fact that homosexuality isn't a crime and that's not what Torbett got done for but let's attempt to make him out like Stein had outdated and possibly bigotted views on a different subject matter'. Plus after he left his management role, there is little that could have been done if he worked with Celtic Pools. Now, if he'd been appointed to the board history might have been different..... As far as articles go to try and defend Jock Stein, that's an epic fail.

Big Jock showed that Torbet wan, eh ? Booted him right up the hole so he did. And then reported him to the Police because he didn't want the *****phile abusing other children. He aslo insisted that the parents of the abused Celtic Boys Club players report it, didn't he ? * Sorry, Rocket, you're wrong........... That bit about Big Jock reporting it ?.........He never...... But he did boot him up the arse so surely that's enough, no ? "
perhaps you ought to google " prima facie ". Once youve collected your thoughts - I`d imagine that wouldnt take too long - do get back to us.
Thought that myself. They say he didn't know yet quite clearly pointing out that he was told about the matter years ago. Oh but it's alright, he literally kicked him out the door. Where's Dev gone?

On a suspicion of something not being quite right, Torbett was punted Why did Rangers continue to employ murderers, child abusers and rapists?
"Apparently, Jock Stein - a man whose instincts were invariably right, and a man not noted for his patience - demanded explanations, found them halting and unconvincing and literally kicked the Boys Club founder out the door." So he wasn't accusing him of anything but kicked him out of the club? That seems strange. Does it matter if volunteered himself for the position or he was invited, he was a Celtic employee.
Well said, Alan. Celtic should be kicked out of football altogether for their part in the biggest scandal in British football history
That's slanderous. I'd be very careful if I were you. Peter Lawwell has an account on here. He may knock down your feature wall.
