The Ground
Celtic Park, standing proudly in the East End of Glasgow, has been the home of Celtic Football Club since 1892. Known affectionately as “Paradise” to generations of supporters, it is more than just a football ground, it is a cathedral of the game, steeped in history, emotion, and enduring success. For Celtic fans across the world, this is hallowed ground, the spiritual heart of a club founded on community and purpose.
With a capacity of over 60,000, Celtic Park is Scotland’s largest football stadium and one of Europe’s most atmospheric arenas. The North Stand, stretching high and sleek along the length of the pitch, dominates the skyline, while the Jock Stein and Lisbon Lions stands behind each goal carry the names of club legends whose achievements define Celtic’s heritage. The Main Stand, with its traditional red brick façade and elegant detailing, provides a tangible link to the club’s Victorian roots, balancing modern functionality with a deep sense of continuity.
When full, Celtic Park generates a noise and energy few stadiums can match. The sound of “You’ll Never Walk Alone” rolling around the terraces before kick-off remains one of football’s great spectacles, a unifying ritual that captures the passion of the Celtic faithful. European nights, in particular, are the stuff of legend here: the floodlights, the green and white scarves aloft, and the relentless chant of the crowd combine to create a spectacle that has inspired players and awed visitors for decades.
Though thoroughly modernised in the 1990s, Celtic Park has never lost its soul. Its design keeps supporters close to the pitch, amplifying the atmosphere and preserving the intimacy of old-style football grounds. Beyond matchdays, the stadium is alive with activity, from guided tours and club events to community outreach projects that reflect Celtic’s charitable foundations dating back to 1887. The Celtic Park experience extends beyond football: it’s about belonging, memory, and pride.
Set within a vibrant part of the city, the stadium is easily accessible by road and public transport. Dalmarnock and Bridgeton stations are both within walking distance, and frequent buses run from Glasgow city centre. On matchdays, the streets around the ground fill with green and white, the air buzzing with anticipation and song.

Around the Stadium
Before and After the Match
The Kerrydale Bar (inside Celtic Park). The go-to pre-match venue for home supporters, located right at the stadium itself. Open on most matchdays, it serves draught beer, soft drinks, and light bites, with Celtic memorabilia on the walls and live build-up on the screens. Expect it to be lively, loud, and very green and white.
The Real McCoy (London Road). Just a few minutes’ walk from the ground, this traditional Glasgow pub is steeped in Celtic history and a favourite with regulars. Expect a packed, good-natured crowd, classic pub grub, and plenty of pre-match song.
The Park Bar (London Road). Another matchday stalwart near the stadium, The Park Bar draws a mix of locals and fans who want a pint within easy reach of their seats. Always busy before kick-off, it’s a proper Glasgow football pub atmosphere.
The Turnstiles (London Road). A short stroll from Celtic Park, this family-friendly bar offers a more relaxed pre-match setting with food and TVs showing early kick-offs. It’s popular with mixed groups and those looking for somewhere less crowded than the traditional haunts.
The Tollbooth (Bridgeton Cross). About a 10–15 minute walk from the ground, this welcoming local sits at the heart of the East End. A favourite of older supporters, it’s a good choice for a pint away from the immediate bustle around the stadium.
The Old Black Bull (Bridgeton). Traditional Glasgow pub with a loyal following, located close to Bridgeton Station. It’s handy for those arriving by train and offers a warm, old-school matchday vibe.
West Beer Hall (Glasgow Green). Set within the historic Templeton Building, this German-style beer hall and restaurant is a fine option for those making a day of it. About a 20-minute walk to Celtic Park via London Road, it serves quality food and in-house brewed beer — ideal for a more relaxed pre-match lunch.
The Crystal Palace (Jamaica Street, city centre). A large Wetherspoons near Glasgow Central Station, popular with travelling supporters before heading east to the ground. Easy to reach by train or bus and good for early arrivals in the city.
Drygate Brewery (High Street). Around a 25-minute walk or short taxi ride from the stadium, Drygate is a stylish craft brewery and bar near Glasgow Cathedral. A perfect pre-match option for those who prefer artisan beer over the traditional pint.
Celtic Park sits within Glasgow’s East End, surrounded by local pubs with decades of football heritage. On matchdays, the streets along London Road fill with supporters in green and white, while those coming from the city centre often gather at pubs near Glasgow Green before making the short journey east.Tip: Tynecastle-side streets get very busy; arrive early, and note that some pubs may manage door policies on derby/“Category A” matchdays. If you’re staying near Haymarket, those options are the most convenient and have frequent transport to the stadium.
Tip: The area around the ground gets very busy from about 90 minutes before kick-off, and some pubs may operate door policies for big games, especially against Rangers or in Europe. Arrive early, soak up the atmosphere, and join the chorus of “You’ll Never Walk Alone” as Paradise comes to life.
