Barça have trained at Celtic Park, the venue of Wednesday night's Champions League clash with the Scottish champions. It was a bitterly cold evening in the biggest city in Scotland.

The Barça players have been given a chance to get used to the kind of conditions they will have to deal with in Glasgow on Wednesday night. Celtic Park may be a wonderful stadium, but the weather was anything but welcoming, and the players donned extra clothing to cope with the chilly conditions. But it does not look likely that the climate will take any dramatic turns for the better for Wednesday evening’s match.

Rijkaard keeps cards close to chest

After the usual warm ups and drills, the players were divided into groups to work on ball possession. The players then played a short match but Frank Rijkaard was keen not to give anything away as he mixed the players up so much that it was impossible to discern even the remotest clue as to what his first team plans might be for the Celtic match.
