Celtic FC: agreement with the City of Glasgow for the construction of a new complex

"Celtic Football Club is pleased to confirm that planning permission in principle has been granted in relation to recent development proposals to create hotel, museum, retail and ticket office facilities," said the club on 28/09/2017.

"The application is part of Celtic's long-standing master plan for the area, a vision which aims to deliver benefits to the club and our supporters and allow further regeneration of the East End of the city, something to which we are totally committed. It is important to emphasise that considerable work and investment over a number of years would be required to bring this project to fruition. Celtic aims to be a world-class football club in everything it does," added the Scottish club.

However, we will now engage with other relevant parties to assess this potential development," said a club spokesperson on 28/09/2017.
