CELTIC Football Club have been seen arriving at an Ayrshire hotel as they look to clinch the Scottish Premiership title.
The Glasgow giants face a tie at Rugby Park tonight, Wednesday May 15, as they take on Derek McInnes and his Kilmarnock side.
Should Brendan Rodger's side pick up any points in the match it will secure the club's third consecutive league win.
Ahead of the clash, the team have been spotted following in the footsteps of some of the most famous sides in the club's history.
Before they taking to the pitch later tonight the squad were seen arriving at the Seamill Hydro hotel in West Kilbride, with a few fans and locals catching a glimpse as the team bus pulled in.
The venue has long been synonymous with the club with visits and training camps at “their favourite Seamill haunt" dating as far back as 1949.
Most famously, legendary Celtic manager Jock Stein was known to take his sides to the hotel in the immediate days before cup finals and important European ties in the 1960s.
The most notable visit of all came in the lead-up to the club's 1967 European Cup triumph - with the Lisbon Lions side beginning preparations for the final against Inter Milan at 'The Hydro'.
The current side will certainly be hoping that they will have silverware secured following their visit to the West Kilbride venue, just like the sides of old.
However, we have a feeling that - unlike the teams of the past - there won't be any training sessions on the back lawn or the adjacent beach.
The match at Rugby Park kicks off at 7.30 pm tonight.
