Overview

• All but three claims in the group action have been settled, with 24 former Celtic Boys Club members to share a combined seven‑figure sum.
• Talks continue on the remaining three cases after offers were made, and a separate claim did not proceed after lawyers were left without instruction.
• Thompsons Solicitors says it is pursuing nine further historic cases linked to convicted abusers Jim Torbett, Frank Cairney and Jim McCafferty.
• The Court heard survivors’ payouts will be tailored individually following psychological assessments rather than divided from a lump sum.
• Celtic’s counsel told the Court the club was conceding expenses as its long‑held separate‑entity stance was undermined by investigations revealing formal links to the Boys Club.
