Celtic sacked a member of staff after leaking an apparent transfer list that included a current Chelsea star and a former Manchester United player.

A document revealing Celtic’s transfer plans was leaked ahead of the 2019/20 season.

The club took action in a bid to track down the mole who leaked the transfer document.

Cleaner Maureen Quinn was subsequently dismissed with immediate effect following a meeting – along with her son, Edward Quinn, who was suspended from his security job at the club’s Lennoxtown training centre.

Maureen told The Daily Record: “It’s a disgrace.

“I’ve done nothing wrong and I’m getting blamed for whatever this is. I know my son would do nothing wrong either. We’re just scapegoats. I want to clear my name.”

“In my job at Lennoxtown, I empty bins and take them to the bin room on a trolley. I think they believe I’ve went through the bins and found this paper, gave it to my son and he’s photographed it.

 

“I support Celtic because my son and husband do but I couldn’t name half their players. I couldn’t care less what’s on a bit of paper.

“I was in tears. I’m gutted and sick for Edward, too.”

The leaked transfer list included Chelsea’s Reece James, who had just enjoyed a season on loan at Wigan Athletic, and then-Man United’s Scott McTominay, who joined Napoli last summer.
