Lawyers acting for more than 20 former players have been told the club intends to enter settlement negotiations.

Several former coaches and officials at the club have been convicted of sexual offences.

Celtic previously said it was not responsible because the boys club was an "entirely separate" organisation.

BBC News understands the club has not admitted liability.
