Lennoxtown training centre

The complex is built on former NHS land adjacent to the vacated Lennox Castle Hospital and is located on a 46-acre (190,000 m2) site near the Campsie Fells; half of the site has been developed in Phase One of the project to provide the existing training facilities with the remaining land being left for development in Phase Two which will provide conference facilities and live-in dormitory areas for young players.

"[8] In 2005, Celtic launched a successful share issue which raised £15m, much of this money would be put towards providing new training facilities.

[5] Celtic coach Tommy Burns was tasked with undertaking a fact finding mission and travelled across Europe to visit other football clubs' training grounds.

The Celtic training facility will potentially contribute significantly to the development of Lennoxtown and will also bring wider employment and social benefits to the area.".

[5][7][11][12] The Lennoxtown complex is just over 4 miles (6.4 km) from Rangers Training Centre, also in East Dunbartonshire (as the crow flies).
