Celtic has settled 85% of claims in a lawsuit brought against the club by sex abuse victims, a court has heard.
Judge Lord Arthurson heard how the club had made compensation payments in 24 out of 28 claims brought against it in group proceedings.
The Court of Session also heard how lawyers in the case hope the remaining claims can be settled in the near future.
Celtic's lawyer Ewen Campbell told the court his client wanted to bring the remaining cases to an end.
He said it would not be in the club's "interests" to allow the matters to continue or be heard in new actions separate from the group proceedings.
This prompted Lord Arthurson to fix a final hearing in the action for September.
