Celtic Park, Football stadium in Parkhead, Glasgow, Scotland
Celtic Park is a football ground in Parkhead, east Glasgow, Scotland. The structure consists of four stands forming an oval bowl with two tiers, holding over 60,000 spectators.
The ground opened in 1892 after the club left its first site due to rising rent. Over the decades the venue was rebuilt and expanded several times until it reached its current form.
Fans call this ground Paradise, reflecting the strong bond between supporters and their club. On match days thousands fill the space, marked by green-and-white colors and constant singing from the crowd.
The ground is reached via Dalmarnock railway station or bus routes serving the neighborhood. Visitors can navigate the surrounding area easily on foot or by public transport.
Since 2016 the ground has featured safe standing sections, combining modern safety standards with traditional supporter culture. These areas allow fans to stand during matches, something no longer permitted in many other countries.
