    Have Hibs made any official comment on the case? Rangers conduct is absolutely despicable but I'd like to hear from our club to get their take on what happened.

    It's a long time ago now but if we (even historically) behaved poorly as a club I'd like to see us be open and honest about things.

    Interesting wording used in this case about an ex Celtic coach who abused a young player.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-44194256

    "He also worked at a number of other Scottish clubs, including Hibernian, before moving to Northern Ireland in recent years".

    Why not name the other Scottish clubs and not just Hibs, a little odd imo.

    SFA and Hibs now being sued by an alleged victim of Neely.

    They mention Celtic, Hibs and Falkirk as the clubs he worked at in the first paragraph.

    At least the perverted ****er has plead guilty. Little comfort to his victims but better than having to go through a trial.

    It's the bold "Worked at Hibernian" half way down the article I find unusual - as opposed to mentioning all, or any of the other clubs this deviant was employed at.

    I think the fact he worked at Hibs is all that concerns us. Naming other clubs is neither here nor there.

    Whitabootery doesn't have anything to do with it.

    Indeed, but likewise I don't expect Hibs to be highlighted any more than any of the other clubs who employed him.

    Exactly . Who gives a flying one what other clubs he worked for. The fact that he worked for us is shameful.

    I think we need to lead from the front on this one.

    Hibs have to be open, honest, transparent, 100% co-operative and if there is a price to pay, we pay it.

    By all accounts we had a wrong un at our club, we need to take ownership of that fact and deal with it.

    It's up to Rangers how they choose to deal with it if any complaints come their way.

    Looking back on institutions who have been mixed up in such allegations (think BBC, the Catholic Church etc) then it can cause irreparable reputational damage (not to mention further suffering for any victims) if you do not.

    I couldn't care less. It's not a competition.

    In my eyes it's nothing to do with being a competition either, it's a matter of fairness and impartial reporting.

    Does anyone honestly think Hibs will be failing to handle this in an appropriate and sensitive manner?

    If we never hear a word out of the club about this it will be because it's been dealt with privately, as it should be, not because of some kind of cover up.

    I have total faith in Hibs to do the right thing - now.

    I suspect we'll have some questions to answer about our past though.

    100%. Individuals suffered at the hands of an employee of our club, so just pay out, take responsibility, and give the guy some closure.

    We have to handle this in a manner of dignity and class.

    Yep, I agree.

    Very interesting contrast with the Legal / moral position at Sevco/the Rangers/Oldco. Quick flip to the moving on camp for this one. The five way agreement is proving more valuable to them every day it would seem.

    We are centre stage in this story, and as fans we have to be more concerned with how Hibs will fix this instead of whining about some perceived slight by the media.

    Given that Neely was at Hibs, I think it's relevant that this coach was also at Easter Road.

    When in a hole, we need to stop digging.

    Most cover ups are done quietly.

    I'm just assuming it's due to our high profile? In the same way if it was Manchester United, Chelsea and then a host of lower league clubs - the high-profile ones are the ones that are going to resonate with readers most?

    Having said that I've made the assumption without knowing every club he was employed by.

    Celtic were in the headline, which has been missed by some. And that probably backs up your point.
