A Celtic Boys Club manager allegedly touched a 15-year-old's private parts in a shower room at Celtic Park when the teenager was feeling upset after a game, a court has heard.The alleged victim, now aged 52, said he initially thought Francis Cairney was giving him a consoling hug because he was homesick, but was "shocked" when the manager touched him inappropriately.
The 87-year-old is charged with indecently assaulting one boy in the late 1970s and another in the 1980s at football facilities and a third boy in a hotel room in Aviemore and a car in Cumbernauld.
Cairney, who has dementia, has been found unfit to stand trial for medical reasons and instead an examination of facts hearing is taking place at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
He maintains his plea of not guilty to the charges and has been excused from attending the hearing.It is alleged that Cairney indecently assaulted a boy then aged between 15 and 18 in the dressing room at Barrowfield training ground and at Celtic Park football ground in Glasgow on various occasions between February 1986 and December 1988.
