The Celtic squad returned to Lennoxtown this Friday to begin their pre-season preparations, and it was clear Brendan Rodgers has his eye on building momentum ahead of a big summer campaign.
SNS captured the players returning to training after their break.
Among those back early was Nicolas Kuhn, who has drawn plenty of attention in recent days amid interest from RB Leipzig and Como.
New signing Ross Doohan was also on the training pitch for the first time, looking ready to stake his claim among the goalkeeping ranks. Alongside him was Luke McCowan, who enjoyed a productive debut season at Parkhead.
A few notable absences were expected, with several key players still away on international duty. Alistair Johnston and Luis Palma remain busy in the latter stages of the Gold Cup, while Paulo Bernardo has just exited the UEFA U21 Euros, earning himself a well-deserved holiday ahead of the busy schedule ahead. Their returns will undoubtedly boost the squad depth and experience as the season draws closer.
With Lennoxtown buzzing again, the build-up begins in earnest. The players will be put through their paces before the Hoops kick off their friendly fixtures in early July.
Rodgers will be aiming to hit the ground running both domestically and in Europe.
Supporters will be watching closely to see how the squad shapes up ahead of a crucial season.
