A former chairman of Celtic Boys Club has been charged with historical sex abuse offences.

Gerry King, who is currently on the club's executive committee, was charged with a number of offences in February.

The 65-year-old has also been suspended from his job teaching at St Martha's Primary School in Glasgow.

A police spokesman said: "We can confirm that on February 15, 2017, a 65-year-old man was charged in connection with non-recent sexual offences. A report has been sent to the procurator fiscal."

In a statement, Glasgow City Council said: "A member of staff was placed on precautionary suspension in February 2017, pending a police investigation."

King is expected to appear in court at a future date.
