Celtic have suggested that upgrades to Celtic Park could take place this summer following the recent redevelopment of their Lennoxtown training complex.

The Scottish champions opened the Lennoxtown training centre in 2007, and the site has recently undergone a series of improvements designed to modernise the facilities available to both players and staff.

It is believed that the changes are designed to bring the training ground to the levels that players expect at major clubs, with facilities away from the stadium becoming increasingly important.

Alongside the exciting update regarding the stadium, Celtic have also hinted at turning their attention to upgrading the stadium itself, although no specific redevelopment plans have been confirmed at this stage.

Celtic keen to enhance the matchday experience

Celtic Park remains one of the largest stadiums in Britain, but parts of the ground remain dated.

Many clubs around the world are regularly updating their stadium facilities with either fan areas, hospitality spaces or media and broadcast sections often improved, the Bhoys now feel it is the right time to do something similar.

While a recent statement from the club did not provide details of any specific projects, it did confirm that the stadium is being assessed as part of a wider review of facilities across the organisation.

Many supporters agree that now is the right time to improve the stadium as issues such as access, seating areas and general facilities are brought up in fan discussions.

FGG says: Upgrades very much needed

It is easy to understand why Celtic may feel that now is the right moment to look at upgrading their 60,000-capacity stadium.

As one of the biggest clubs in the United Kingdom, it is important that Celtic do not fall behind other sides by not upgrading their stadium.

Although no concrete plans have been announced, the prospect of redevelopment work at Celtic Park in the near future is likely to generate plenty of excitement among supporters.
