About the stadium
Celtic Park is the home of Celtic Glasgow and the largest football stadium in Scotland, with just over 60,000 seats. Located in Parkhead, in the east of Glasgow, it has hosted the club's green-and-white hoops since 1892. At its opening, a journalist described the move as going "from the cemetery to paradise," a nickname, Paradise, that supporters still use today.
The stadium has gone through many changes over the years, most notably a major rebuilding project in the 1990s that produced its current all-seated configuration. The attendance record dates to 1 January 1938, when an Old Firm derby against Rangers drew nearly 92,000 spectators into the ground.
The history of the Bhoys is visible throughout the stadium: along the Celtic Way, around the Billy McNeill statue, and in the names of the stands, including the Lisbon Lions Stand (honouring the 1967 European champions) and the Jock Stein Stand, dedicated to the club's legendary manager.

Celtic Park is above all known for its atmosphere. On match days, it ranks among the loudest grounds in the country, driven by powerful chants, including a unison You'll Never Walk Alone, and the involvement of active supporter groups such as the Green Brigade.
Located around 4 km from the city centre, the stadium is well served by public transport. Dalmarnock and Bridgeton stations are about a ten-minute walk away, several bus routes run along Gallowgate and London Road, and the ground can be reached on foot from George Square in around 45 minutes.
Outside of match days, Celtic Park offers guided tours lasting approximately 90 minutes. These take in the tunnel, dressing rooms, pitchside area, and press room, with several packages available (some including a meal or a visit to the Tennents brewery). The tour covers more than a century of Celtic's history at a ground that holds a firm place in European football.
