Former Celtic football player, Harry Hood, is preparing to invest in the renovation of the Angels Hotel in Uddington.
Utilising his £8m profits from his pub company, The Lisini Pub Group, Hood hopes to speed up the restoration project of the hotel which has suffered a series of setbacks since it closed for refurbishments last year.
Hood, who played for Celtic, Scotland and Rangers in the 70s, put £750,000 into renovating the Angels Hotel. Whilst developments are not complete, the restaurant and lounge areas are due to open on 6 April.
Siobhan Edwards, director at Angels Hotel, said: “As a family-run business, who are dedicated to our customers and the preservation of this old building in the area, we wanted to make sure this place was around for another 100 years to come.
“It is a difficult building to transform, with it being built in 1906, and has brought about its challenges but we are getting there now.”
The rest of the Angels Hotel is due to be reopened at the end of April.
