The last International match with England played there was in , but it still takes some League Internationals with England and International matches with Ireland.
The first double decker stand at a football park was erected at Celtic Park in , but it was burned down in , and has since been replaced by a larger but single storyed stand. To gain extra revenue the new Celtic Park had a cycling track around the perimeter of the football field, and in the late 19th Century, Celtic hosted many competitions.

Comment on getting away from the ground after the game: Again, it was that long walk down the road to catch the supporters bus. Summary of overall thoughts of the day out: Not the best of visits but it hasn't put me off. Steve Welch Manchester City 28th September Comment on getting away from the ground after the game: After walking the mile back to the car, was the inevitable delay with traffic due to the high attendance.
Summary of overall thoughts of the day out: Will be looking forward to the next time we play them, might even wear my colours next time. Joe Eckstrom Neutral 25th February I was traveling from the USA, and wanted to get a chance to see some football. Celtic are a famous club, and famous for their atmosphere, and I was excited to see for mys elf how it compares to our league back home. We took a taxi to Parkhead, we arrived around for a 3pm kick off so there was no traffic or issues getting to the ground, took maybe 15 minutes from the city centre.
Before the game, we went into the very large team store and looked around, and took some pictures outside the stadium.
We then went to the Kerrydale Bar which is onsite, for a few drinks pre match. I was impressed with the facility, as it was very large, with live music, and affordable drinks. There were big banquet tables that are first come, first serve, so we sat with some home fans who were very welcoming. I am not sure if away fans were welcome to the bar, but it says it is open to all match day ticket holders.
We had seats on the lower tier of the Jock Stein Stand, behind the goal and I was really impressed with the stadium itself when we took our seats, it looks much larger inside than it does outside the ground. Three uniform sides and then one with the single tier. It was really cool to see how the stadium got redeveloped in stages, all of the similar sized NFL stadiums are much more generic looking.
The away section was in the corner of the stadium, at the far end from where we were sitting. The game itself was never really in doubt, and kind of a dull affair. The Accies were at the bottom of the league, and Celtic were in the middle of their unbeaten league run, with the league all but wrapped up in late February, so the famous Celtic atmosphere was never really there. Their standing section was active and singing the whole time, but in a stadium so large, the noise was lost, and the rest of the crowd wasn't really interested in singing.
Dembele scored right on halftime, and put the game out of reach with a penalty early in the second half. I did try one of the pies, a chicken curry pie that I liked very much.
I was shocked when I asked to buy a water, that they didn't sell any! After the game, we walked down the London Road to the Bridgeton train station, where we caught a bus back to the city centre with no issues. Overall it was a very memorable day out, and a great experience to see a match at such a famous ground. It's a shame that we couldn't be there to see a more meaningful game, with that famous Celtic atmosphere.
The fans and stewards couldn't have been more friendly or helpful! Matthew Nicol St. Mirren 5th March Celtic v St. Mirren fan Why were you looking forward to this game and visiting Celtic Park?
Comment on getting away from the ground after the game: Getting away from the ground wasn't too bad as the Police had closed the street off, so it was just a short walk back to the waiting coaches. Summary of overall thoughts of the day out: The day at Celtic Park was an enjoyable one despite being beat Paul Donaldson Aberdeen 13th May This was the final game of the season, and a win for Aberdeen would secure second place in the league.
Had Aberdeen drawn or lost against Celtic, we would have been relying on Hibernian beating Rangers at home the final result there was This was my first ever visit to Celtic Park, so I was looking forward to the game, despite being slightly nervous about the match itself, because Celtic are by some distance the best team in Scotland although not unbeatable this season , and Aberdeen had not won a league match at Parkhead since I live in Coatbridge, and possibly the only Aberdeen supporter who lives there who was at the game.
I took the train and got off at Carntyne, from there it is about a 25 minute walk to Celtic Park. I didn't see any other Aberdeen supporters until I was right outside Celtic Park. I put this bet on more in hope than expectation. After that I went into the ground immediately, I took my seat around an hour before kick off, and used the time to read some of the programme I had bought outside the ground.
The home fans seemed friendly enough, but I did take the precaution of zipping my top all the way up outside the ground so my red t-shirt could not be seen — just in case — but there probably wasn't too much need. I was expecting some level of hostility from the home fans, but there was none at all. I've driven past Celtic Park many times before, but it's only when you are up close to it that you get an idea of the scale of the place.
Especially how tall it is on three sides. Aberdeen supporters had been allocated around or tickets in a very small section of the corner beside the older Main Stand. The section of seating where my ticket was allocated in was closed off, but the steward told me to sit in the next section in any seat in the same row.
There seemed to be a bit of a mix up and a lot of fans with the same problem as me, having a ticket for a seat in a closed off section. To be fair, this was nothing to do with the stewards on the ground who were only doing their job but probably caused by their managers. When it became clear a few minutes before kick off that there were more fans than seats available, they opened the previously closed section of seating and I was able to move to my allocated seat.
The stand seemed fairly steep, which would have given a fairly decent view, except for the very wide pillar supporting the roof of the older Main Stand, which obscured quite a large section of the middle of the pitch, but at least I was able to see both goalmouths.
If you'd been sitting a few seats to either side, your view of one of the goalmouths would have been completely blocked by this pillar. I thought the leg room wasn't very much and it would've been a fairly uncomfortable 90 minutes sitting for anybody who was quite tall.
Apart from the old Main Stand and the two corners immediately either side of the Main Stand which are single tier, the other three sides of the stadium are two-tiered, and you very quickly realise how big and impressive looking a stadium that you are in. If Celtic ever decided to rebuild the Main Stand at some time in the future, I'm sure they could easily rival Old Trafford in terms of capacity and have one of the most impressive looking stadiums in Europe. One unique in the UK just now feature of Parkhead is the safe standing area in one of the corners of the ground, and most of the atmosphere and noise in the ground was being generated from there.
Hopefully, Aberdeen's new stadium will include a safe standing area. Between the upper and lower tiers of the North Stand, a section of darker green seats is noticable, and I'm guessing this was hospitality seating, because they were all completely empty up before kick off and at half time. Aberdeen started well and hit the bar a few minutes into the match from a free kick just outside the box. A few minutes after that, one of the Celtic defenders put the ball just past his own post, the keeper was beaten which would have meant an own goal had it gone it.
Sadly it was demolished in to make way for the new all-seater stadium. Remarkably, the turnout in the evening far exceeded expectations, and all had an incredible evening out watching old luminaries play in a kick-about to celebrate the end of a great innings for the old terracing. It was quite emotional for some. However, this is really just a nostalgic echo since the real Jungle vanished all those years ago, and is viewed by many as a symbol of how the club, and football, has changed in modern times.
A fuller review of the old Jungle can be found in the following: Link. The volume of support and the understanding and knowledge shown by the fans there is legendary. For that reason any further developments are unlikely in the near future. From Celtic FC. More details. This member of the Mercure chain of hotels is around twenty-five minutes walk from the stadium.

There is no food here, it is a traditional pub and as authentic as you are likely to get. This is a place to drink and watch the football, and it is a football pub as youwill see from the memorabilia all over the place.
