Scottish football club Celtic have announced plans for a hotel and museum complex to be built next to the 47-time Scottish Premier League (SPL) champions’ home ground.
The proposal, which also includes a ticket office and retail store, will be submitted to Glasgow City Council for approval, with the development to come up outside the main stand of Celtic Park.
“The application is part of Celtic’s long-standing masterplan for the area, a vision which aims to deliver benefit to the club and our supporters and allow further regeneration of the East End of the city, something to which we are totally committed,” said a club statement.
“Celtic aims to be a world-class football club in everything it does. We are pleased to have made significant investment in recent years to develop the stadium and public realm area for the benefit of our supporters.”
Celtic’s 2009 masterplan by GD Lodge Architects and McInally Associates details housing, retail, leisure, office, civic and public realm developments. The current plans are part of that wider scheme, which is integrated into the city’s regeneration strategy.
