Celtic Park

Celtic Park

Celtic Park is a football stadium located in Glasgow, Scotland, and serves as the home ground of Celtic Football Club. It is the second-largest stadium in Scotland by capacity, after Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, and the second-largest football stadium in the UK, after Old Trafford. The stadium has hosted finals of several major competitions, most recently the 1998 Scottish Cup Final.

The pitch at Celtic Park is surrounded entirely by stands, including three large double-tiered stands and one smaller double-tiered stand that houses the Celtic Museum. The West Stand, named the "Jock Stein Stand," can accommodate 13,006 spectators and is traditionally occupied by Celtic fans. Away fans are seated in the similarly sized "Lisbon Lions Stand," which also holds 13,006 people. The North Stand, rebuilt from what was formerly known as the "Forest" end, is the largest single-tier stand in Scotland, with a capacity of up to 26,970 fans—more than ten Scottish Premiership and five English Premier League stadiums had during the 2009/10 season. The smallest stand, the Main Stand (also known as the South Stand), can hold 7,850 people. The stadium features two large screens that replay match highlights on game days.

Celtic has explored the possibility of increasing the stadium's capacity. In April 2007, CEO Peter Lawwell stated that rebuilding the Main Stand could add 8,000 seats, but the plan was not pursued due to high costs. Celtic Park will host the opening ceremony of the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
