This is part 2 of Gordon's story

If you want to hear the first part, where he tells his story of abuse at the hands of Celtic Boys Club founder Jim Torbett, listen back to Episode 3.

In this episode Gordon talks about how he sat face to face with the man who had tormented him for 50 years, and finally saw justice done.

He talks about

• The police investigation and what is was like to sit in the courtroom
• Why he asked to see his abuser face to face
• How he reacted to the verdict
• What it was like to go through the Scottish legal system
• How he thinks Torbett's legal team tried every trick in the book to trip him up on the witness stand
• His gratitude to the ordinary people on the jury
• His views on how Celtic have conducted themselves over the years

Again, thank you to all the brave individuals who have come forward to share their story.
