“On 15 January 2021 in an article entitled “Operation Stop the Ten, those Dubai photos and alleged touch of Karma” we suggested that certain photographs of the Celtic squad in Dubai had originated from a group which included Mr Alan McLeish and Mr Barry McLeish.

This article was published without comment from Messrs McLeish. Indeed, we did not approach them for any comment.

We now understand these allegations to be untrue and are happy to fully retract these allegations and offer an unreserved apology to Messrs McLeish.”
