Celtic Abuse 'Class Action' Green Light

Celtic will be served with legal papers after a judge gave the green light to a class action lawsuit against the club by sex abuse survivors.

Up to 25 victims of historical abuse at Celtic Boys Club launched a multi-million pound damages claim using new powers under Scottish law.

Now judge Lord Ericht has allowed the case to move to the next stage which ensures lawyers for Celtic FC will need to answer the allegations.

A hearing took place at the Court of Session in Edinburgh on Thursday and a summons is expected to be served on Celtic within the next fortnight.

Thompsons Solicitors Scotland acts for 25 survivors. Patrick McGuire, a partner with the firm, said the summons will set out the alleged relationship between Celtic and Celtic Boys Club.
