Work begins on Celtic's new training centre

Celtic Football Club is soon to have a brand new state-of-the-art training centre as work has started on the Barrowfield facility.

The multi-million-pound development, once the training ground of the Lisbon Lions, will be the base for the Women’s first team as well as both Boys’ and Girls’ Academies.

In a video on social media, the Glasgow side showed that work in the area is well underway.



Chris McCart, head of academy at Celtic said: “This is the biggest investment and development since Lennoxtown and it’s one which the Academy is very excited about.

“It’s going to be a boost for all our young players coming through the club.”

New Celtic FC Women’s head coach, Elena Sadiku is equally excited that these new facilities, set to be opened later this year, will mean top-quality training facilities, both indoor and outdoor, for her team.



Having come from the English game, Elena is confident the new centre will bring Celtic up to the level of the top clubs down south.

The head coach said: “It’s going to be easier for me to sell this idea of how we want to be as a club, our vision, and help them to achieve something. It’s going to be incredible when it’s done.”
