Two things I don't understand about these winter breaks, one is, what is the point of taking your players to some hot climate, so that they need to reacclimatise to the Scottish weather when they get back, and the second thing is, why bother having them in the first place.

The same reason people go on holidays in winter. To get away from the bad weather and recharge the batteries.

Don't know about anyone else but it costs a fortune to follow Celtic. If anything it gives the fans wallets a breather.

Players need a break after that December id say.
Getting out in the sun relaxing and de-stressing will do them good, which in turn will help us on the field.

Aindoh the two things you don't understand are actually just the one same thing, phrased differently. So that's half the problem solved if anything.

It’s warm climate training training in sunnier climate guarantees fitness levels through the roof to that’s why a lot of people training for long distance races train in Cyprus etc.

See, I have been misunderstanding it all, I thought the winter break was brought in because the weather would be so bad at this time, the games would be postponed anyways, so the break could be used for training and team bonding, didn't allow for the holiday aspect, think they would have been better going to a less hot climate, sunshine is good for you, but the heat will make you feel the cold more when they get back here, think they might have been better to go playing in the snow in Finland, and taking on the winter sun up there.

If you’re going on an all day session, you wouldn’t stay up all night drinking the night before to get acostomed to it. You’d get a good nights sleep and a cooked breakfast in the morning.

Not just the busy December the fact it's such a short break between seasons before CL qualifiers this is a much needed rest for the players.
