The full correspondence between Celtic and the Scottish Government over their controversial trip to Dubai has been released to the public.
The Hoops were slated over their getaway to the Middle East in January, during the height of the coronavirus pandemic. Christopher Jullien's positive Covid-19 test upon returning from the break forced 13 players into self-isolation.
Celtic and government chiefs clashed, with former Parkhead gaffer Neil Lennon insisting the club were being treated differently to everyone else before Peter Lawwell issued an apology to fans.
The Scottish Government has now released a 34-page document including letters and emails exchanged by the two parties to give an insight into the decision making around heading to Dubai, and they reveal the Hoops initially wanted to fly to Gran Canaria in Spain for the break.
The full dialogue, which was released on Wednesday under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, gives full details of Celtic’s plans in Dubai to keep the team away from the rest of the population.
The 34-page report includes how many people were in the travelling party with 56 people heading abroad and revealed they had taken over six floors in the hotel.
They also planned a boat trip where they would go and have food, as well as two other trips out of the hotel.

It also discusses the decision to deem Ryan Christie a close contact following international duty back in October, as well as other incidents.
The Celtic star was ordered to isolate after both he and Kieran Tierney were deemed in close contact with positive coronavirus case Stuart Armstrong - despite Tierney being given the all-clear to play for Arsenal.
The case was reviewed by a Scottish local health protection team and the decision was based on "interviews with the relevant stakeholders" and "demonstrable evidence of antibody serology".
