Thompsons Solicitors say Celtic have indicated they intend to enter settlement negotiations relating to historical abuse at Celtic Boys Club; Celtic have not admitted liability or made any formal concessions; Sky Sports News has contacted Celtic
Celtic have not admitted liability or made any formal concessions with the Boys Club previously described as an "entirely separate" organisation
Group proceedings are similar to US class action style actions and were brought into law in Scotland in 2020 and allow groups of two or more people with the same, or similar claims, to raise a single action in the Court of Session. A statement from Thompsons Solicitors said:"Thompsons Solicitors are pleased to confirm that Celtic Plc have indicated their intention to enter settlement negotiations within the context of the Celtic Group Proceedings Litigation.
"Celtic Plc have not formally admitted liability or made any other formal concessions but their desire to now enter negotiations to explore the possibility of a settlement of this action has been made clear.
