A former Celtic youth coach who claimed to have also worked with Dunfermline Athletic and Alloa has been convicted of sexually assaulting boys who he had befriended while running a soccer academy in the Highlands. They involved sexual activity with two boys and having a sexual conversation with two others committed between 2016 and 2019. A jury took two hours and fifteen minutes to return their majority verdicts on all five remaining charges. The Sheriff told McAuley: "The court will be considering a custodial sentence." She said there had been bad judgement and McAuley told the jury he would do things differently now.
