Celtic settles historic abuse case

Celtic FC has settled a historic sexual abuse case, paying a five-figure sum to a victim who claimed he was assaulted by Frank Cairney at Celtic Boys Club in 1989. Initially denying liability, the club reached an out-of-court settlement a month after the legal action began. The victim expressed relief, stating: "In terms of the settlement, I feel like I've finally been heard." Richard Pitts, a partner at Digby Brown, praised the victim's perseverance. He said: "Successful legal victories can be a double-edged sword because while we are proud of our client and what we have achieved together, there's always a mindfulness about why we are in this fight in the first place." Cairney, now 90, was previously jailed for multiple abuse charges involving young footballers.
