Ross Grant has moved to explain exactly what his day to day looks like on the Celtic training pitch as their first dedicated set-piece coach.
The Hoops brought Grant from Hearts where he had helped the Jambos implement an impressive record from set-plays last term as they pushed Celts to the final day.
Grant helped his former club score more than 20 goals last season from corners, free-kicks and throw-ins and he hopes to now bring that to Celtic Park as he discussed his job from the club's training camp in Portugal.
Revealing how vital it is to use set-pieces in conjunction with the style of play Martin O'Neill will want from his squad in open play, Grant told how things will work from his perspective.
"So my role is probably quite heavy analysis based in the background," Grant told Celtic's official pod. "So looking at opposition teams, our team, seeing where we can get success.
"Looking at maybe where other teams might think they can get success against us and trying to build a structure and principles on both sides, attacking and defending and about how we can get success. Success looks like scoring goals and not conceding so there's that.
"For me the coaching side on the pitch the stuff I can do is also built into the style of play. So a lot of conversations with the manager, Shaun (Maloney), Foz (Mark Fotheringham) and Mick (Stephen McManus) about how we want that to look, how set plays fits into that without changing the style everybody wants to see Celtic play.
"There has to be that element of speed and intensity to the game so it's all about trying to fit into that. Then when we have the opportunity to have a set-play it's an added way we can try and score a goal."
