CELTIC are reportedly considering progressing with the multi-million pound investment around the stadium with the proposed building on a club hotel and museum. The Scottish Champions have had planning permission for nearly three years but are yet to submit any final plans.
According to REGlasgow, the club are hopeful to get plans submitted soon after a letter submitted this month to planners confirmed their intention for the spot of land beside Paradise.
The site is expected to include a hotel with between 175-200 bedrooms, a Celtic museum, shop and ticket office. This would create a unique facility, which would allow Celtic to grow on a commercial scale.
The club have been working their way around the planning permission in principle from Glasgow City Council, which stated that the project should be ‘no bigger than 1,500 square metres with no individual shop unit being larger than 400 square metres’.
The site is likely to include bars, cafes and other amenities, which will improve the match day experience for supporters.
The redevelopment of the area and construction of the site was supposed to create 120 jobs – according to the Scottish Sun, which at times of unemployment and people facing redundancies, is a small glimmer of hope.
