More than 20 legal claims related to historical abuse at Celtic Boys Club have been settled, totaling a seven-figure amount. Around 30 former players initiated a class action against Celtic Plc, with approximately 70% of cases now resolved. Despite several former coaches being convicted for sexual offenses, Celtic has not admitted liability or issued an apology. Clients expressed relief over the settlements, viewing them as confirmation of the club's connection with the abuse occurring at the boys club. Ongoing cases involving a deceased coach remain unsettled, and further settlements are anticipated.
"This litigation has been made far more complex and lengthy by the defender, while our clients have acted with resolute dignity throughout..."
"At long last they have achieved success and can take this compensation as confirmation that Celtic Boys Club was indeed inextricably linked to Celtic Football Club."
