A football coach accused of abusing young players lived right next to a school and kept children's toys in his window, according to the journalist who helped expose him. Speaking to the Case Against Celtic Boys Club podcast, he explained how one of Malley's alleged victims had come forward, describing him as "very courageous". Mr Horne, who said Malley was friends with Celtic Boys Club founder Jim Torbett who has been convicted of sexual crimes against former players, was "frosty" when confronted. Mr Horne also said while the story of abuse in football is "massive", Celtic Boys Club "stands out" because "it's far and away a place that has been harbouring most paedophiles". A group of former players are currently taking the senior club, which maintains the boys club was a 'separate entity', to court in a 'class-action' style lawsuit.
