Talks can begin over the sale of council land near Celtic Park to a firm planning to build an events venue.
Council officials will now negotiate with Aghoco 5011 Ltd, which owns “scrub land” to the south of the site at the bottom of Dalriada Street, just off London Road, after securing approval from councillors.
A council official said he believed the company was part of a group owned by Glasgow businessman James Mortimer. Lynn Mortimer, his daughter, is listed as a firm director on Companies House.
