Bradford City's arrival at their training base in St. Andrews saw them greeted by about 1,200 football supporters.

The fact that Spanish giants Barcelona are also training at the same university and were being eagerly watched by an army of fans and the national media as they too prepare for two pre-season warm-up games in the warm summer sun in Scotland.

Barca take on Hibernian on Thursday and Dundee United on Saturday while City face neighbours Dundee on Wednesday night before relocating to Glasgow on Saturday for the game at Motherwell.

City's coaching staff oversaw a light training session on Wednesday morning in temperatures reaching 26 degress, before the players returned to their rooms to relax prior to leaving for Dens Park.

A swimming session is scheduled for Thursday morning before they have a 'bonding session' in the afternoon, details of which Stuart McCall is keeping firmly under wraps!
