He admits he cheated, lied and even stole the life savings of his dying granny to fund his addiction. They are the people you hurt much more than yourself, the people you put through the emotional rollercoaster with all his betting. It is horrendous.” In this action the pursuers seek to enforce certain rights which they allege arise under a Management Agreement entered into between them and the defender on 31 July 2000. In terms of the Management Agreement the defender appointed the pursuers to act on his behalf "in relation to the negotiation and/or management of any business relating in any way whatsoever" to his career and related activities as a professional football player, including:- You can go from top international players and managers in the country all the way down who are either betting or worse have a gambling addiction. It's a dangerous precedent that we have is that we're loaded with these sponsorships and we need to have a platform in place that allows Scottish football to move forward and to make sure that all the difficulty that comes with those relationships are in balance." Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers Brendan Rodgers says it is important that players and staff at clubs seek help

Former Scotland star and self-confessed gambling addict Kevin Kyle has claimed the problem is widespread. That's a fairly big encouragement for people who maybe don't bet or don't have accounts to open up accounts - potentially, it's a slippery slope. On Thursday, SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster praised Ladbrokes for being "a terrific and supportive lead sponsor" for the past two seasons and said his organisation was "thrilled to extend the partnership for next season", saying it was "another clear message of confidence in Scottish football". If you were to take any ­professional club on any Saturday morning I would guarantee about 90% of players will be gambling, whether it’s a small coupon or whatever. It’s what they do, it’s part of the culture.Gambling is now a massive industry, it’s overtaking everything and as a consequence football is no longer what it used to be – it’s ingrained in the gambling industry. They will remember this victory for a while. So will Celtic after their most inept performance of the season. Ironically, the goal was the first one Celtic have conceded at home this term. What about that for timing? Twaddle admitted: “The amnesty idea from Hamilton is a good idea because look at Brian he has come forward and he has been charged.

The essence of the learned sheriff's decision, with which the defender takes issue, can in my view be found in a quotation from the judgment of the European Court in Benincasa v Dentalkit, 1993 ECR 1-03767 wherein it is stated that: Celtic: Gould, Riseth, Stubbs, Burley, Mjallby (Tebily 46), Petrov (Wieghorst 64), Lambert, Petta, Moravcik,Burchill (Brattbakk 64), Viduka.People have no idea just how widespread gambling is in sport and in life.” Read More Related Articles

Are you telling me they don't have betting accounts? I would suggest they have. When you're Scottish and go to football, from an early age, your father will take you and you stop at two places on the way to the game - the pub and the bookies. That's our culture. The strongest aspect of the defender's argument in my view is that, for a contract to be regarded as entered into for a trade or business purpose it must be an organisational or managerial act within the broad scope of that trade or business. Thus it was argued that there was no managerial act in the defender entering into an arrangement designed to increase his income. That argument, derived from the dicta in Di Pinto, has some support in the observations of Lord Caplan in Chapman. Lord Caplan was, however, dealing with the situation of an individual entering into a contract of employment. In my view this case is by no means the same. Whilst the defender is an individual he is effectively in the position of a sole trader, and the engagement of an agent to "exploit the identity and profile" of a sole trader can hardly be equivocated to that of an individual obtaining employment. On the 26/10/99 Celtic signed Ian Wright on a short term contract to the end of the season as cover for Henrik Larsson. When asked what quality the 36 year old former Arsenal player could bring to Celtic, Barnes replied, "Goals. That's what Ian Wright is about." Celtic failed to register him in time for this game, though he was introduced to the crowd at half time and received a standing ovation. Kevin – who also starred for Raith Rovers, Morton and St Mirren – says the cash pales in significance when he thinks about what he put his family through.It's not just players who are gambling. Managers, referees, directors, chairmen, they've all got inside knowledge.
