Celtic Boys Club coach accused of abusing young player dies aged 83
11.04.2022 - 12:35 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Celtic Boys Club coach has died at the age of 83 following allegations he abused a young player.
Lyness Malley allegedly rubbed oil on a boy on a number of occasions and touched him in private areas at Barrowfield - where Celtic had a training ground - in 1969 and 1970.
Malley denied the claims and said the accusations were motivated by revenge after the accuser was dropped from the team.
He admitted massaging oil on players but claimed there was no sexual motivation behind it.
The Scottish Daily Express has now reported Malley died "suddenly but peacefully" at his home in Glasgow last month.
One of his victims said they considered taking their own life due to the trauma of the incident.
They told The Times : "Malley’s sexual abuse inflicted psychological devastation and emotional torture upon my 11-year-old mind.
“At the age of 12 I pulled all of the hair out of the crown of my head to avoid having to fall asleep and re-experience the abuse in the form of vivid and horrific nightmares.
“I wanted to kill myself to avoid any more suffering.
"I am 61 now and still suffer from terrifying nightmares. Malley’s face frequently appears.”
It comes after survivors were given the go-ahead to pursue a 'class action' lawsuit against Celtic.
Laura Connor, of Thompsons solicitors, which is representing players at the feeder club, told The Times: “The death of this individual will not change the fact that he abused children at Celtic Boys Club, while coaching there under the watch of Celtic FC.
“We will continue to work with and support our clients in their fight to receive the justice they deserve.”
