Put the victims first

REGARDING the recent abuse allegations engulfing football, i find it astonishing the SFA are not following their english counterparts in launching a full inquiry. if we do not take this grave matter seriously, we will not encourage victims to come forward.

To say our game isn’t blighted the way it is down south is extremely naive at best, disingenuous at worst. it is also offensive to suggest financial reasons are a consideration. What price dignity, justice and closure for abuse victims?

Without fear or favour, a full inquiry should be instigated by the SFA immediately, anything less is an insult to those who have endured the most horrendous suffering at the hands of these sick perpetrators.
