Six more alleged sex abuse victims have sought to join a group proceedings case against Celtic FC, lawyers have said.
A judge in the Outer House last week granted permission for 22 former Celtic Boys Club players to make a compensation claim against Celtic FC, which denies a close connection with the youth club.
Thompsons Solicitors partner Patrick McGuire, who is representing the former players, told The Times that six more alleged victims have come forward since the court hearing.
“We’re assessing their claims to see if they meet the criteria to join the group proceedings,” Mr McGuire said.
“The court has made this a real, live litigation and Celtic have been given a clear sign they need to stop their obfuscation. There can be no hiding behind legal technicalities and trying to evade their responsibilities through delaying tactics.”
