Celtic have shared the first footage from training under the new Brendan Rodgers regime.
The non-international first-team stars have been back at Lennoxtown this week as they begin preparations for the new season.
On Tuesday, the club shared the first images from training with the likes of Matt O’Riley and Tomoki Iwata present. Now, on Wednesday, the first video has emerged.
Shortly before 4pm, a ‘Lennoxtown Unfiltered’ video was uploaded on Celtic TV for subscribers to watch.
At the time of writing it is only available to Celtic TV customers. But the likelihood is that it will appear on the club’s social media channels in the coming hours.
The brilliant footage features no background music and allows supporters to get a feeling for what things are like under Brendan Rodgers.
It begins with the Northern Irishman chatting to goalkeeping coach Stevie Woods then greeting the likes of Matt O’Riley, Alexandro Bernabei and Joe Hart with a huge smile on his face.
Rodgers is heard throughout the video and it becomes clear that he is the main man at Celtic.
He is seen joking with coaches John Kennedy, Gavin Strachan and Harry Kewell before getting down to business.
Once training starts it is clear that Rodgers means business. While the likes of Kewell and Kennedy take the actual drills, Rodgers is situated just a few metres away at all times.
“Go again, double up, well done” he shouts at one point with frightening intensity.
It’s pretty clear that Celtic aren’t easing in to pre-season training.
Things are pretty intense already. Roll on the matches.
