Celtic Park

Celtic Park stadium is the home of Celtic F.C. football team in Glasgow, Scotland. The all-seater stadium (also known as 'Paradise' and 'Parkhead') is the largest football stadium in Scotland and is currently the second-largest club ground in the UK (after Old Trafford).

Celtic moved from the original Celtic Park to the present ground in 1892. The stadium has undergone numerous redevelopements, most recently in the mid 1990s. Now Celtic Park completely encircles the pitch and consists of a double tiered stand which stands around 3/4 of the pitch and a single tier main stand, which contains the Celtic museum.

In 1938, Celtic Park saw its largest attendance of 92,000 when Celtic played Rangers. In a recent poll by the BBC, Celtic Park was voted as the "most atmospheric sports venue in the UK".

Tours of the stadium are available.
