Peter Lawwell has given his approval to major Celtic plans for their state-of-the-art Barrowfield training facility.
Final planning details are poised to be confirmed "very soon" and "it is hoped that work will begin on site shortly." The project will take 12-15 months to complete. Lennoxtown is also undergoing some changes, with the first-team changing areas being fully refurbished and extended, new medical/treatment, sports science space and staff offices, plus the B Team areas are also being revamped.
Rodgers explained: “Today’s announcement is very significant news for the club and will give our young players, boys and girls every opportunity to develop further. I know the club always aims to be the best in everything it does and the new centre demonstrates Celtic’s real commitment to this area. Alonso was in unison. The Women's boss said: “I am very excited about the Barrowfield development plans, I believe this new facility can be huge for the women’s team and a real game changer. The facility will allow for all-weather training with the best of resources and will provide the first team and the girls’ academy with a great new dedicated base where we can develop further."
