- Celtic Park has been the home of Celtic since 1892, when the club moved away from a nearby ground that was also called Celtic Park following a dispute over the rent.
Celtic Park officially opened on the 13th of August 1892 with the club’s annual sports day. The first match was played a week later and saw Celtic beat Renton 4-3.
The stadium was initially oval-shaped with cycling track, pavilion, and one wooden stand at the Janefield Street side. Four years later, in 1898, a new grand stand was built on the other side. This was the first ever double-decker stand at a football ground and lifted capacity to over 50,000.
In 1904, the wooden Janefield Street Stand burned down and got replaced by a covered terrace, which would go by the name “The Hayshed”.
In 1927, it was the turn of the double-decker Grand Stand to burn down, which got replaced in 1929 by a new Main Stand designed by Archibald Leitch. While the construction of the new Main Stand was still in progress, another fire engulfed the pavilion.
No further changes were made in the following decades. Celtic Park set its unofficial record attendances in 1938 when 92,000 spectators came to see the Old Firm. Official attendances never were higher than 80,000, Celtic Park’s maximum capacity.
In 1957, the Celtic End received (partial) cover, and almost a decade later, in 1966, the Hayshed terrace received a new roof. In those times, the terrace was commonly referred to as “The Jungle”, because of its poor state and fanatic fans.
In the late 1960s the Rangers End also received cover, and shortly after the Main Stand got extensively refurbished, including a new roof. Capacity got reduced to 60,000 due to safety measures following the Ibrox disaster.
Due to the precarious financial situation of Celtic in the 1980s and early 1990s, no further changes were made to Celtic Park until the take-over of Fergus McCann in 1994.
Funds were raised through a share issue, and a large redevelopment project was started. As this involved the demolition of both ends and the Jungle, Celtic was forced to play its 1994/95 home matches at Hampden Park.
Celtic Park reopened in 1995 with a newly built North Stand. Works continued on both ends, which were were completed in August 1998.
Celtic fans have used both Parkhead and Paradise as nicknames for Celtic Park. - กีฬา
The Celtic way lit up at Christmas or even just any dark night is a beautiful sight 💚 great club great team great fans this is paradise! 🍀
Take scaffolding down already why don’t you 😂
@@EyesWideOp3n what scaffolding would this be?
Paradise looking great these days.
Need to update the end of the video though, to include the Celtic Way and the rail seating.
Hail hail 🍀🍀🍀
2:46 “ 1989” is wrong . The old roof on the Celtic end ( to the right ) was replaced in 1986
Thats exactly how I remember it as well.
Missed the new Celtic walk way! But lovely how it's all changed over the years 🍀😅 Great video regardless!
On 28 May 1888, Celtic played their first official match against Rangers and won 5-2 in what was described as a "friendly encounter". Neil McCallum scored Celtic first ever goal.
They also played a game against partick thistle on the night Jack the ripper killed his first victim Polly Nichols, 31st August 1888.
Greatest stadium! Messi & Barcelona praised it & fabulous atmosphere! The first European Cup sits in the Parkhead trophy room!! Hail Hail!!🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
amazing video, im a motherwell fan but i can see parkhead from my house, i went to a game celtic played juventus and hslf the stadium was built. i thought that building on kerrry dale was A listed
Loved the old jungle terrace, great memories, the surge and celebrations after a goal against the huns.
Celtic park today to the way it was before Fergus came into save us is day & night it's a place where you'd be inspired to play football as it a fantastic stadium though I'd like to see the main stand get an added tier to bring the capacity to 70,000 or so ( I'm not sure if we can build on the main stand) & have the bowl look the noise with an extra 8000 tims would be breathtaking the Celtic way is beautiful when it's all lit up & what's the 1st thing ppl see big Billy standing with the European cup in that iconic image we all know & love quite simply if Celtic park doesn't impress you nothing will ...it's true what ppl say about Celtic,we are a club like no other hail hail
Robert Galbraith An Old Firm game these days would easily attract 100,000 💙💙🍀
@@pathegarty4757 yes ± that many disappointed they missed out on a ticket too hh
Michael McCullagh Celtic Park is a great stadium but IBROX is SUPERB. 😜
This makes me feel really old. I remember it as it was when I used to go to games in 1970s through 1980s.Jeeez.
Thankyou Fergus
Celtic Park looks amazing, would love to see a match there , Celtic v Rangers would be amazing 👍👍

Love the old celtic park all standing huddled together singing their bollocks off
Paradise 🍀🇮🇪
My grandad has a photo of him with his grandmother holding him as a baby stood in the middle of Celtic park. That was in 1930/31. As his grandfather was celtic trainer Willie Quinn
I would like to see that.
That shot isn't from 1989 mate. The shot before it that says late 1980's you can see a different roof on the terrace. It was replaced along with the main stand facade for the centenary year, is white and covers the whole terrace which the previous one didn't.
I see theres some filthy huns in the comments section, probably here to see what a good solid structured stadium looks like. Yous fix that roof yet?
Rather a hun than a paedo
Hahaha the stadium of Breezeblocks and metal poles which are now full of rust!And yes the 3 roofs have been replaced on the 3 stands at a cost of approximately 3 million pounds.The work commenced last April and is now almost complete for your misplaced information!
Fuck you and the pope
No ma fault yer maws yer sister ya fenian fuck you the ira the pope and all use stand for for.god and Ulster now fuck off as said before sweep sweep big jock knew he knew
They canny afford it
Paradise always and forever
Best stadium in the world 🍀🇮🇪
Can you do villa park
Great video but would love some facts about the ground together with the pictures!
Read the description there is facts
@@tonyh7994 Tony ya tit
Facts are founded by priest's run by beast and between Celtic park and the Vatican it's the biggest pedophile ring in the world! Where's are the mighty Glasgow rangers are the world's best most successful team.facts🇬🇧✊🇬🇧✊🇬🇧
Tony H well said tony you certainly owned that brain dead bigoted freak 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 poor del
The old school building in Kerrydale St was a listed building, until they found asbestos in it, so then it has to go!
Welcome to the Celtic Way!
At the end it hasn't included the new Celtic way. The old school is still standing. Apart from that. Very interesting
Heaven
Great concept to.your video and the content but for some people they arent very educational on there history and these pics in the video wouid be much easier to follow through a timelinenif they was in order
Celtic was formed in the last three months of 1887 so I respectfully ask where 1888 comes from? 💙💙💙💙💙🍀
They played their first official match in May 1888 but they were founded nov1887
We Are All Neil Lennon thanks for that, it makes more sense to me now. Hope to see both our clubs in the final! 💙💙💙💙💙💙🍀
@@pathegarty4757 it strange to talk to a rangers fan without arguin lol 🇮🇪
We Are All Neil Lennon my older brother was a huge Celtic fan and I worked with many of them so I don't have any axe to grind! 💙💙🍀
@@pathegarty4757 av never met a rangers fan cawed pat either haha my brothers r called paddy mick and sean ...n thats no lie haha
Look like mini old Trafford
That is NOT 1989..the old Celtic end roof is still up, this was dismantled to make way for the new roof in 1986. Indeed, the picture you claim is 1989 is actually taken on 2nd October 1985. Thats Celtic and Athletico Madrid on the park playing behind closed doors.
Maracanna of Scotland 10th oldest football ground in the world .
home of the bhoys
👍💚🇮🇪
Oldtraford green version
My local team.
In the century past there use 2 be 120,000+at all games rangers could only dream of it hail hail
Well, thats amazing considering the record attendance was 92,000.
Don't no where you got that number far even weilkipedi get it wrong 1903 there was 103,422 that's not counting the 1ns that Hooke most kids on there dad's or grandad shoulder were never really counted
The Chamber of secrets
I think you mean Kincora.
The secret is why are watching this must be a secret celtic fan
First team to play at Celtic Park was Hibernian
Correct against who though ???? ......xxxxx
A Day At A Time only Hibernian ??? Takes two to make a game ... Cowlairs
Paradise. No room for those evil eyes. Deluded Huns, saying the pot didn't call the kettle black, same old shitey sick jokes.
Take a look at the trophy room at Paradise, and see what it means to be a grand old team. (Ps how DO you win 54 titles In 7 years anyway).
Why didnt they bulldoze the flats as well they look like rab c nesbits home!
