So the most important thing for me is that we do know allow these perpetrators either acting individually or in concert toe act with them.

Puny Bill story.

Another victim has waived his anonymity and has a challenge to Scottish football.

At the end of the day, please just let your hand up and said, You know something, we're accountable For those who were responsible, this didn't happen over 23 years.

This went on for ages and there's just this head in The sun certainly scores possibly hundreds of victims out there, and to date not a single football club has issued a public apology.

It is both a matter off act and indeed of legal record that the extensive paedophile rings in Scottish football lead to some of the biggest clubs to Hibs to Dundee United to Rangers.

But they lied to one club above all others on that club is Celtic renowned for noise.

Celtics fast becoming notorious for silence.

It could soon face dozens of legal cases because of a least four Peter Files operating for decades either at the club itself for the now defunct Celtic Boys Club.

The Boys Club worlds for decades a key supply chain of talent to Celtic legendary manager Jock Steen took a keen interest.

Celtic refused to be interviewed.

They claim the Boys Club is quote an entirely separate entity and that claim enrages many, not least lifelong Celtic fans like MSP James Dornan.

No, it's complete nonsense is a ll, the evidence suggests.

And I've seen it for myself that the Boys Club on Football Club are intrinsically linked and nice being done on No for 30 years and more.

This photo of Celtic Stadium in the late sixties shows Celtic Boys Club in the ring, yards from the stadium and physically part of the club complex immediately.

Oh say that the means, Celtic groaned.

There's a building which is painted in ASEAN colors of Celtic Football Club as part of Celtic football clubs groans that we're trained.

That's were some off some of the abuse took place.

Gordon Words was abused by the boys club, founded the notorious paedophile Jim Torbert, and he's also agreed to waive his anonymity.

Ah Club history confirms that initial location of the Boys Club next to Celtic Stadium, a strange location to house an entirely separate organization.

Today, the building has been demolished.

No sign of the place where child sex abuse took place almost on the doorstep of Celtic Stadium.

Celtic quite rightly say they're not the only club with historic sex abuse problems and they were indeed the first Scottish club to appoint a welfare officer for Children in the game.

But none of that alters the problem of the current defensive position.

You've used the word denial Celtic football cover in denial.

What do they denying?

Denying any involvement with Celtic voice spoke.

There's there stating that Selfie Boys Club is a totally different organization at nothing to do with Celtic Football Club.

I'm like That's not true.

We were very much a part of Celtic Celtic don't deny close cultural and sporting connections their defenses that Legally Boys Club was separate yet precisely because of their Celtic connections, the power of the paedophiles was legendary their abuse beyond brazen through the sixties seventies eighties nineties, Gordon describes being abused in toy shops.

In class goes Merry Hill Road, now long gone by Tor but on others even in an Italian restaurant and sake Whole Street, a site now occupied by the Halifax.

So close was the boy's club to Celtic.

Gordon once catched a lift to a boy's club game from the legendary Celtic manager Jock Steen and then chairman Bob Kelly with the European Cup on the back seat to show off the boy's match.

Ah, fooling Celtic Football Cup.

I've got a spoils from Celtic football club.

The Celtic football have monitored and chairman pick me up in a car to drive me too much in Dumfries.

I can't deny that they were part of a healthy boy.

In recent months, Celtic has said it takes all of its responsibility seriously, stands by its responsibilities and will continue to do so.

Others witnessed the power of Celtic.

Peter files unlocked doors across the English game at the highest level.

This was power the way we went to ST Mary's B and Ken Buck in 73 during that trip we were given a guided tour of Hibri on Wembley.

As many as four e people not trip.

What about tonight?

Kept pulling.

James the old, the young people I've been to the man unlocking those doors, convicted paedophile and former Celtic employees Jim McCafferty.

But there's more way more Hearing Glass goes Mitchell Library a treasure trove detail ing Just how close Celtic Boys Club really waas to Celtic Football Club on archive of Celtic View magazine.

Down the years.

A record of the close relationship between the Boys Club and Football club.

Way back in 1986 the Celtic board investigated the rampant paedophile rings at the Boy's Club and found nothing at all.

And here it is in black and white and remember from a magazine which is registered to Celtic Football Club, not Celtic Boys Club, Describing how, if necessary, officials from the Boys Club are prepared to go to court of law.

Quote to make sure these scurrilous stories are buried once and for all.

In a few weeks, the Scottish FAA will publish its investigation into sex abuse in the game.

It's author will be critical of Celtics conduct.

I'll be making statements about that in my report, but I think you wouldn't be a need to be a genius to figure it wasn't as it should have.

Bean.

That relationship was not what we would know consider to be a functional, healthy relationship.

I'm happy to see that that relationships instead changed.

We wanted to put questions on behalf of the victims.

To the club's chief executive, Peter Lowell.

He has long experience of Celtic.

He was financial controller back in the early nineties.

Eventually Celtic did send us a statement late yesterday afternoon.

Although Celtic Football Club is a separate organization, we take these allegations extremely seriously.

Because of the historic contacts between the two organizations.

The club reiterates its sincere sympathy, regret and sorrow for those affected.

The Mitchell archive shows Celtic of not always taken these responsibilities seriously.

Bill Story was abused by a Peter file with connections to Celtic.

So basically turn round and say Celtic Boys Club or a different organization.

They went, went to Celtic idea.

I just feigns.

Yeah, it's farcical.

I just don't see why they don't just put that hand up like Manchester City have done down south and just say yeah, we accept responsibility.

We accept accountability.

I would say every senior club and who's a community based club shared their values, their name, their brand on so on and so forth.

Still, as a matter of the heritage, that joint heritage have a responsibility to the survivors of abuse.

And from that time, yes, that is a moral obligation that is inescapable in my view and a place to every club, not just the Celtics.

Now all that ought to be troubling enough for this football club.

But there's another aspect to all this, which almost nobody is talking about until tonight.

And that is the law, not solely the way the law is changing here in Scotland, but also the way the nor is changing in the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.

First, the Holly Rude Parliament has now passed corks into law.

It stands for qualified one way cost shifting, and it radically reduces the costs of groups seeking legal compensation.

In cases like historic child abuse.

The Scottish government told us initial changes to regulate successfully agreements will be brought in shortly.

A new procedures for group proceedings will follow later this year.

The Glasgow solicitors Thompsons are taking at least 30 compensation cases against Celtic and they say this new law is a game changer left there was ever an area well.

It was desperately needed for the scales of justice to be balanced for that to be a level playing field as respected survivors of historic abuse.

I see Steele didn't try to get justice from bank powerful and influential clubs such a Celtic and the Supreme Court will.

A series of recent judgments there shows Celtic could be liable if the activities of the boys club were off.

Quote direct and immediate benefit to the football club now since the Boys Club was a conveyor belt of talented players to Celtic, the direct and immediate benefits Celtic is obvious in short, even if Celtic Boysclub Waas legally separate, that may no longer help Celtic Football Club and that could cost millions in court.

As on the park, Celtic could indeed be a club like no other.
