Inaccurate use of the terms ‘old’ and ‘new’ as they applied to the club and its ownership structure, the ‘old’ and ‘new’ didn’t apply to RFC (Club) BBC Trust!

A few months after Torbett's 1974 dismissal, the Evening Times reported: 'When Jock Stein returns from holiday next week, he'll immediately get down to formulating a new scouting policy for Celtic - one with old-style ideas! Today in Glasgow I spoke to Celtic FC chairman Desmond White, who was somewhat reluctant at first to discuss the backroom clear-out at Parkhead. "This is Mr Stein's province." he said. However, Mr White did confirm the "new approach" by Celtic and said, "In a way, it may be a reversion to original ideas." Now it seems certain that Celtic will be moulding youngsters for future glory. Players such as the 17 kids they've signed from Celtic Boys Club in the past two seasons. The Celtic boss has also pointed out in the club's summer magazine, that he will be looking for young players making a breakthrough this season. Evening Times - 4 July 1975 But the last paragraph in the article left an intriguing question hanging in the air. "Meanwhile, chief scout John Higgins has resigned and seven scouts have been sacked by Celtic. Who will replace them isn't so much anyone's guess, as Jock Stein's problem when he gets back." Were catastrophic errors in recruitment about to make themselves known? Hindsight shows that to be the case but, as with so many other Celtic Boys Club-related matters, everything was done behind closed doors, so we'll never know for sure.

Mahmood said she made the changes after her ‘public consultation’. Today we learnt that just 1 in 5 people who responded to her ‘consultation’ were British citizens! They asked foreign nationals if foreign nationals should get faster settlement in our country. The Tories and Labour have perpetrated a huge SCAM on the British people. Reform will reverse this madness.

The ninth and final Celtic-associated convicted serial paedophile is Celtic Soccer Academy coach Mark McAuley. McAuley’s case is as much an indictment of Celtic FC’s so-called safeguarding policy as it is of McAuley’s paedophile activity. In January 2019, he was accused of nine charges of sexual offences on two boys under the age of 13, and two under the age of 16. The Times - 19 January 2022 It is alleged that McAuley repeatedly pinned a child down, put his hand under their trousers and touched their genitals. He is also accused of asking a child to remove his clothing and inviting them into his bed while he wore only his underwear. The alleged offences are said to have taken place at addresses in Dunfermline, Edinburgh and Tain in the Highlands, as well as in a vehicle on the A9 and elsewhere, between February 2016 and August 2019. McAuley’s online CV states that he was an international coach with the Celtic Soccer Academy, which is part of the Premiership club and teaches children to “learn to play the Celtic way”. Photographs posted online by the academy in 2019 show him working with young boys and girls, wearing Celtic FC training gear, at club-sanctioned training events held in Sweden, Northern Ireland, Qatar and Scotland.

From the 1960s to the 2020s, there were NINE convicted serial paedophiles - that we know of - with Celtic FC/Celtic FC scouting/Celtic Boys Club connections. The 1990s saw the start of associations with two of the most evil paedophiles in the whole tragic story. In 1989, Celtic FC proposed the formation of a Celtic Boys Club based in the east of Scotland. The task was given to the recently-appointed Youth Development Officer, Benny Rooney to set it up. The Celtic View had this to say about it - Celtic View (1) - 3 May 1989

After his Director’s Box pass was rescinded, and having been ostracised to the point where he was unable to carry out his duties as Boys Club chairman, Hugh Birt announced his resignation at the 1986 Celtic Boys Club Annual Awards Dinner. Shortly after his enforced resignation, Birt was interviewed by Gavin Goodwin of the Sunday Mail. ‘The chairman of the famous Celtic Boys Club sensationally resigned last week. He quit at a special 20th Anniversary celebration because, he said, the Celtic board were ignoring complaints from parents of some of the boys. Last night, Glasgow businessman Mr Hugh Birt (50) - who has been chairman for 12 years - said, “It was the board’s duty to investigate these complaints. Instead, nothing happened and I was more or less told not to rock the boat. Faced with that, I had no alternative but to resign.” Complaints from parents are recorded in the Boys Club Committee meetings of last November. They include complaints about - Boys being taken out socially when no games were involved, Boys arriving late back home, and Boys going away on weekends to non-existent tournaments. Mr Birt said the complaints were so serious he took them to Celtic vice-chairman Kevin Kelly. Later, he raised the matter with Celtic manager David Hay. Mr Birt was then asked to resign. When he refused, Celtic withheld his season ticket to the Parkhead director’s box. He has not been back at Parkhead since. Mr Birt said, “It appears the Celtic board want to look in the other direction in the hope the troubles will go away.” Leading Scots solicitor Joe Beltrami has been advising Mr Birt on the issue over the last nine months. Mr Beltrami said, “Mr Birt is a man of unquestionable integrity and his loyalty to Celtic and the Boys Club is total. He has taken the proper decision.” The Boys Club has five teams with almost 160 youngsters aged 12 to 16. It has produced such stars as Paul McStay, Roy Aitken, Charlie Nicholas and Tommy Burns. It is run by general manager Frank Cairney, his assistant Jim Torbett and a large group of helpers. At The Trophy Shop in Shawlands, Glasgow, where he works for Torbett, Kevin Kelly said, “It is correct that various complaints were raised and discussed at a meeting last November. But there was no concrete evidence to pursue it further. I did, however, take that opportunity to remind all officials of their responsibilities to the boys and their parents.” On the resignation request to Mr Birt, Kelly said, “I was upset that he had bothered Mr Hay on a matter that was not the manager’s concern. Along with Cairney and Torbett, we asked him to resign. He refused, and we thought things would settle down. None of us expected his resignation and, when it came, it was a bit of a shock.”’ Sunday Mail - 30 Nov 1986

November 2026 marks the 60th anniversary of the worst paedophile ring in world sporting history. In November 1966, Celtic FC chairman Robert Kelly and Celtic FC manager Jock Stein granted an unknown, 19-year-old Jim Torbett permission to name his youth football team 'Celtic Boys Club'. It was given on the understanding that 'the aims and objectives of the fledgling club should, in no way, conflict with those of Celtic FC, and that its activities on and off the field should never bring the Celtic name into disrepute.' This quote was taken from the 20 Nov 1974 edition of the official club magazine, The Celtic View, founded in 1965 by Jack McGinn. Later posts will show the cynicism behind the quote.

Jack McGinn's 9 Dec 1970 article missed out a couple of small details regarding Celtic's latest employee. In 1961, his brother - Canon Henry McGinn - relieved Cairney from his coaching duties, following concerns raised by parents of St Columba's Boys Guild players.

So by 1978, Jock Stein - along with now deceased Robert Kelly - had given an unknown, 19-year-old Jim Torbett permission to use the Celtic name for his youth football team, on the condition that 'its activities on and off the field should never bring the Celtic name into disrepute.' He dismissed Torbett in 1974 when he was made aware of his paedophilia. He did not notify the police. He did and said nothing when the Celtic View covered up the reason for his sudden departure. Likewise, the cover-up of Frank Cairney's paedophilia in the same Celtic View edition announcing his appointment as the Boys Club's new general manger. But the biggest slap in the face was contained in this short chapter in Cairney's report on the 1978 Boys Club Awards Dinner -
