Celtic supporters will defend anything, just look at Scott Brown's defence of obvious racist Tonev, even after he was convicted of racially abusing Logan. He went on a victim blaming rant. He should also have been charged with bringing the game into disrepute, being an advocate of racist abuse. He was Scotland captain at the time ffs.
The Celtic View sold copy and took credit for the boys club's success. That alone shows a blatantly obvious link between the youth team and the senior club. They made money out of the sales of the Celtic View, which took credit for the youth team's success. It could not be any more clear and obvious that both are one and the same club.
As for Torbett being sacked and brought back again, words fail me on that. Certainly lends credence to the BJK argument. I'm not certain Big Jock was the unimpeachable character he seems to have become since his untimely demise in the dugout. In fact, there's a chance he would have been in court too if he was still alive.
