Celtic Park
Celtic Park, widely known as Parkhead, has been Celtic FC’s home since 1892. Situated in Glasgow’s East End, it is Scotland’s largest football stadium and one of the biggest club grounds in the United Kingdom. Extensive redevelopment during the 1990s transformed the stadium into a modern, all-seated venue, with steep stands that bring supporters close to the pitch. Celtic Park is renowned for its atmosphere during major domestic fixtures and European nights, when the home support creates an especially intense environment. The ground has hosted numerous title celebrations and memorable European matches throughout Celtic’s history.
