Celtic Park

Visited Celtic Park yesterday ahead of the friendly against Newcastle and even without attending the match, the experience left a deep impression. The stadium is absolutely steeped in history you can feel the pride and tradition in every corner. The walk up to Paradise builds real anticipation. The iconic statues outside, the towering stands, and the sheer scale of the place all speak volumes about the club’s legacy. Staff and fellow fans were incredibly friendly and welcoming there’s a real community spirit here that’s hard to describe but easy to feel. Even just touring the grounds, it’s clear Celtic Park is more than a stadium it’s a place of identity and passion. Gutted I couldn’t stay for the match.

I've been to many football grounds in my first time at Celtic park got to say got to say just how nice the Celtic fans were towards the Newcastle united fans even after the game would like to go again

The tour is absolutely an amazing experience. Our tour guide was great. He was very knowledgeable and you could tell her held a tremendous passion for the club. One note, if you have young children, don’t be shocked if you are asked to leave the room if your children struggle to be quiet while the tour guide speaks. We have two young children with autism who sometimes struggle to be quiet and we were asked multiple times to exit the room. At no time were we upset by that, and the tour guide was very kind about it. Other children in the group left the room too at different times. I only say something because other parents might be in a similar situation and might like knowing before hand.

Tour lasts about an hour. Arrive a bit early to get your food and a drink before the tour. Tour guides are knowledgeable and friendly and the history of the place is very interesting. Got to see the board room which houses all the trophies including Lisbon Lions European cup win. Getting to see the dressing rooms and the pitch was a great experience.

Celtic Park is Paradise on Match Days and the best atmosphere in the UK on European Champions League match days. You'll never hear anything like it. You start to see and feel how special and the history of Celtic on the Celtic way. Which I hope the club develops further. I highly recommend taking a stadium tour and even have. A3 course dinning experience as its fantastic or visiting the on site Celtic Bar, just check times though. The superstore is good and has a wide selection, although it's often hard to find children's sizes which is a little disappointing.

Short trip to Glasgow only for the Champions League match Celtic vs. Bayern Munich. Amazing 1st time in the stadium Celtic Park. You’ll Never Walk Alone. Goosebumps. It was great to have been there.

It was my first time to see a live football game much less the 1st in Scottish Premiership team! It was a great stadium and walk up. Going through security it a different ball game and seemed way more organized then going to American Football game. Loved the look of the stadium and even though it was cold the fans kept things going to keep it warm. Loved hearing the banter between the teams even though at times I had a hard time understanding it all with the accents and had to get translation from my friends when something funny was said. Great game overall and plus they won! I was a bit confused as everyone seemed to clap when a score was missed but was cool when I understood fans where giving them kudos for the attempt, much different experience than when any of my teams at home neglect to score lol. Again a great stadium, team, and atmosphere! Hopefully I can come again.

The best day at Celtic Park watching the Bhoys beat Newcastle 4-0. The atmosphere was amazing - absolute dream.

Great tour by Phil. Lots of history and plenty of time to take photos. If you're a fan, then you'll love this tour.

While in Glasgow for a conference I decided to tour the historical stadium. It's beautiful and grand. I didn't make reservations for the tour but since it was just me they were able to get me in. While waiting for the tour to start we were up on the lounge where I had a coffee and a gluten free brownie. The tour started on time and it was great. Our guide really knew the history and was a huge fan himself. It was so cool to hear about the history of the club and well as some of his stories that really added to the tour. Getting to sit where the players sit was pretty cool as well. We didn't get to see the home locker rooms since they were preparing them for the game but we did get to walk through the tunnel and see the away locker room. This was a very cool tour and they sound like a great club. They do a lot of charity and are feeding kids daily all over Africa. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you are a sports fan!

Went to my first football match here and I was not disappointed. It was a whole different experience from ballpark back home in California but I loved it. The Celtic shop is pretty big and not over priced at all. The food within the park is not as great as the food vendors outside so grab some food before heading in. The park is clean and no matter where you sit, you will get a great view.

My husband and I did the stadium tour and meal afterward today. It was absolutely wonderful. Our tour guide, David, has the best personality for this sort of thing and it was fun to see behind the scenes. My husband is in a wheelchair and the support staff was first-rate and very helpful to him, making sure he could get down to the tunnel with their help. I highly recommend this tour and want to thank everyone involved.

Septic Park is a stadium that is literally infectious. Parkhead is known as "Paradise" and if you're a Celtic fan, it really is. It's a beautiful grand structure, and the second biggest club stadium in the UK after Old Trafford, just ahead of Arsenal. Although when West Ham move to the Olympic it may be bigger, not sure. It's the largest football stadium in Scotland. It's in a rough area of Glasgow so be careful. I had a gun pointed at me right around the side of this stadium. Okay, let's tell you more about this. First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I've been to Celtic Park more times than some hardcore fans that live in Glasgow itself. I'm a big supporter of the team, and have even seen them play at Anfield, and in Cleveland, USA against Boca Juniors. But nothing compares to Parkhead, packed to the rafters, singing "You'll Never Walk Alone", a song that they share with Liverpool. I was here to see a game as recently as 2014, and expect to be going again in 2016. Watching footy matches is as much of a hobby as food. However my most interesting experience was when a kid on a bike cycled up to me right next to the club shop, and pointed a gun right in my face. There are no legal guns in the UK (not even the police carry them), so this was unusual and shocking. He said "Celtic or Rangers." I said "Celtic." He said "lucky for you. Bang bang. You're dead." In the thickest Scottish accent ever. And then cycled away. Now why do they say Glasgow is a rough town? So when I was doing my first tour of Scotland in 2011, I also hit up every single stadium in the country. My obsession with footy (soccer to Americans) is the reason. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are based on first-hand personal experience, usually from multiple visits. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to most of them yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at many of them, which I will post later. Also, when back in Scotland I plan to take more pix, and add more stadia! So watch this space! *** return to regular review *** It was built in 1892. Scotland has played there 20 times. It's in the East End of Glasgow. It's shimmering green and absolutely stunning. It rocks when it's full of people like no other UK stadium, and it is gorgeous when empty. There is a cemetery here so Celtic fans can be buried in the stadium. I am not kidding. I am seriously not kidding. That's how rabid the fans are. They may go back to safe standing to increase the capacity, I hope they do. I hope everyone does. Concerts are held here too, including The Who (1976), Bryan Adams (1992), Prince (1992) and U2 (1993), and Wet Wet Wet (1997). I like kicking in the gutter and wishing I was lucky. Wishing I was lucky. Wishing I was lucky.

It's a great stadium and with the redevelopment around it .... Even the area looks great Worth a visit, I would say the exclusive lounges, the food isn't fantastic just average
