Paedo football kitman Jim McCafferty has died behind bars. The 76-year-old, who was jailed for a catalogue of abuse against young boys, died at HMP Glenochil on Saturday, November 19.
McCafferty, who worked at Celtic, Falkirk and Hibs, was convicted at Edinburgh High Court in 2019 for a string of sex attacks on players stretching back to 1972. During the trial, he admitted 10 charges of indecent assault and one of lewd and libidinous behaviour against boys aged as young as 11.
Jilly Beattie of the Daily Mirror worked with the Daily Record to expose McCafferty. In her own words below, she tells how our probe brought the paedophile to justice.
