The former chairman of Celtic Boys Club has been cleared of performing a sex act in front of a child after prosecutors threw out the case.
Gerald King, 71, was alleged to have used lewd, indecent and libidinous practices towards the boy aged between seven and 11 at a primary school in the north of Glasgow. Court papers stated that the offence took place on an occasion between August 1991 and June 1995.
It was stated that King was a school teacher and a football coach at the time. The charge claimed King invited the boy into a room where he was changing where he then performed the sex act.
