Champions League clubs’ January winter training schedules are taking form as Rangers go and Celtic remain at home.

While Livingston earned their break during their trip to Turkey last year, not everyone is heading for some sunshine.

January is not only the month when new players arrive; it is also the month when Scottish Premiership managers send their teams to warmer climates for the now-familiar “warm weather” training.

These trips are necessary, depending on how the season is going, to help the new guys settle in and give them more time on the training pitch because there isn’t as much wind, rain, or snow. Alternatively, remaining at home is just as advantageous (and less expensive) if they aren’t truly necessary.

Given the Reds are dangerously close to the foot of the table, staying at home is maybe for the best, in terms of perception if nothing else. And given how often they’ve been away, Robson feels some time at home is much needed.After heading to Atlanta last winter, Robson has confirmed that it will be Cormack Park for his squad this winter.

I plan on introducing myself to my family,” he said. “We did look at a training camp but we’re going to give the staff and players some rest

“We’ve been working seven days a week for a while now as everyone knows and it’s important we get the balance right. Seriously, we’ve built a whole new squad and there’s still a lot of work to be done with the people who are here. There’s a lot of improvement in them still to get.”
