Celtic have provided the first insight into the new training facility at Barrowfield.
A full size indoor pitch will be the centrepiece of the complex but there will also be outdoor grass and artificial pitches.
Work is underway and scheduled to be completed by the end of this year for the new look home to the Academy and Ladies teams.
With no proper indoor training facility at Lennoxtown it would seem natural for the first team squad to also use the new Barrowfield facility through the winter months.
Prior to the 2007 move to Lennoxtown the first team trained at Barrowfield, often getting kitted out at Celtic Park then travelling by car along London Road.
The current set up at Barrowfield offers good quality grass and artificial pitches but is short in terms of medical facilities and a proper gymnasium.
With those included alongside high quality changing facilities the teams will certainly be as well prepared as possible.
The only disappointment is that a small stadium isn’t included, as things stand the B team and Ladies side are playing home matches on the plastic pitch at Airdrie.
