Former PE Teacher Convicted of Abuse | Glasgow News

A former PE teacher turned convicted abuser, Michael Neil, has been found guilty of five counts of physical abuse against students aged 13 to 17 at Kerelaw School between 1991 and 2003. Once a professional footballer, Neil allegedly locked kids in the gym and beat them with golf balls—so often he couldn’t remember every incident. The case emerged after two other teachers from the same school were convicted, prompting more survivors to come forward. Victims described a terrifying environment where abuse was normalized, with one calling the school “hell on earth.” Police Scotland confirmed the investigation began in 2015 and continues, with Neil’s sentencing delayed pending background checks. Authorities praised survivors for their courage and vowed to pursue all abuse reports, no matter how old.
