"Every professional footballer should seek to play at least one game at Celtic Park, I have never felt anything like it." Paolo Maldini
The Celtic fans are incredible. It is always great to play there.” C.Ronaldo
“I’ve been fortunate to play in some great stadiums in Europe with Barcelona but none compare to Celtic. The atmosphere their fans create make it a very special European night of football.”
“I have a Celtic jersey at home. The games against Celtic were special and I want to remember them. Celtic Park is a tough place to go to, it is never easy to get a result there. It is the best atmosphere in Europe and we all want to experience that again.” Messi
I have never experienced anything like it. This is a lesson for all football clubs about how to be proper football supporters, This is the best club in the world.” M.Platini
“The incredible thing was the people, for an opposition player it is quite incredible, I have not seen a better atmosphere from the grounds I have visited” Steven Gerrard
“When we played at Celtic Park for Bayern in the Champions League it was unbelievable and I think all our players said the same thing afterwards. The atmosphere was just totally unique. I’ve played in lots of big games and stadiums but I’ve never witnessed fans making that much noise in 90 minutes.” Owen Hargreaves
“This place makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, there is nowhere like it in football, and I can see how the people love to play here and speak so highly of it.” Samuel Eto
The Celtic fans are very special and the club and players can be very proud of them. They are the best I have ever heard.” Andres Iniesta
“I have played many games for Spain/Barca but I’ve never heard fans like Celtic, they were amazing, not quiet for a single second!” Also Iniesta
“There isn’t a better atmosphere in world football than Celtic Park.” Ray Wilkins
“It is inspiring and intimidating. It’s a stadium with a particular atmosphere you want to experience as a player.” Wayne Rooney
“Then when I got out on the pitch and the match began, I tried to communicate with my team player.But I heard nothing.The audience had such a mood.I did not hear what my team players said, if they called me or even the slightest, because it was such a beautiful and awesome atmosphere.It’s probably the best I have seen on the pitch.”
“Celtic is a club with a big tradition and a place any top player would want to end their career. How could I say I wouldn’t want to play for those fans every week?
“Henrik was good enough to play for any team in Europe. But after playing at Celtic Park it is easy to understand why he chose to stay there for so long.
“No player would ever want to leave playing in the stadium for those fans. It’s a beautiful condition to play in.
“I have played in the biggest games in world football. But I have never experienced an atmosphere like I did at Celtic Park.”
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
“Atmosphere at Celtic Park is the best in Europe.” Gerard Piquié
“It’s up there with Madrid and Camp Nou. They are a healthy club and with great fans. They are an example how to run a club.” Frank de Boer
“I fulfilled a long-standing ambition on Tuesday night when I sat in the stands to watch Celtic play a European game at Parkhead.
“The experience against Ajax did not disappoint and it was one of the best atmospheres I have ever experienced.
“A lot used to be said about what Anfield was like on a European night but, as a player in those games, you don’t really hear the noise as you are concentrating so much.
“At times on Tuesday, it felt like the ground was shaking, not least when it seemed as if 60,000 fans had started doing ‘the Poznan’.
“It was difficult to watch the game, as I kept looking around to take in everything. “The noise was deafening. only a handful of clubs can come close to generating the same kind of noise and intensity that Celtic’s supporters produce when the floodlights are on and the stakes are at their highest.”Jamie Carragher
“Celtic are an unbelievable club. The stadium on a match day has the best atmosphere in the world.” Benni McCarthy
“Were Celtic a bigger test [than the financially bloated Man City]? Yes. They might not have crazy money to spend but they’re not easy to play. Money can buy you the best players but it can’t buy you hunger and passion.” Dani Alves
Every game I have played in Turkey stands out for passion created by the fans - but the best has been at Celtic Park.” Nemanja Vidic
Celtic supporters are spectacular - they are the best.” Carlos Puyol
“In my experience, which embraces big matches at Old Trafford, Anfield, Ibrox, the San Siro & the Nou Camp, there’s nowhere else remotely like Celtic Park in full flow.” Brian Viner (The Independent newspaper)
FORM IS TEMPORARY CLASS IS PERMANENT
In 1967 A team from Glasgow made up of 11 players born within a 30 mile radius of Celtic Park conquered Europe.
They lifted 5 Trophies in one Season and went on to win 9 league Titles in a row.
Football without fans is nothing - Jock Stein (pronounced STEEN ya melt).
Largest Attendance at a European Football Match
CELTIC v Leeds Hampden Park 1970 136,505
Largest attendance at a Domestic Game in Europe
CELTIC v Aberdeen Hampden Park 1937 147,365
Celtic lost 10 in a row last Season during a Season that saw no fans attend Football matches.
As did Juventus.
Make of that what you will.
"I've been to many a stadium around the UK and I have to admit when I went to a game at Celtic Park it was easily the best atmosphere I've ever experienced" A Civil Conversation
That last part is very interesting. We were down an extra player during the covid lockdown.
As for the rest; it really is a special place. Nowhere else like it. Brilliant.
Yaaaasss☘️🇩🇪☘️🇩🇪❤️❤️❤️
well said sir
Brown Warrior This Is Just Excellent From You Hail Hail Chara 🇮🇪☘🍀
Sarcasm isn’t the way to go son. Greatest club in the world you’re denigrating here!
Learn the greatest manager in British history’s surname while you’re at it!
I'm sure United fans would have something to say about that.
God bless Fergus McCann.
Cambuslang Celtic doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
Cambuslang Rangers already exists so they would have had ready made rivals .😂
Great video. Only thing is the pronunciation of Jock Stein, proper way for his surname is 'steen'.
Forgive me, it's my accent.
the chamber of secrets
The secret to European Success must be well hidden.
Come on the bhoys and green
Celtic jerseys are not for second best, they don't shrink to fit inferior players.
Looking at the table at the moment it's hard to argue with that.
It's a dump. It's all smoke and mirrors and disco lights.
It's got a decent atmosphere though
First time I've heard it called The Sectarian Derby, but I certainly prefer that to OF.
Why's that Sunk?
@@acivilconversation18 At least yours is true... The OF stopped existing in 2012, but the chants coming from some of the stands certainly suggest there are particular fans unwilling to separate the historical politics and the contemporary football.
My thoughts at the end of the video is D head. Don't give up your day job.
Thanks for the comment I appreciate the passion.
He sounds as if he's talking to children
Who's this Billy?
Weird way of talking like he's singing the words is annoying, and Jock Stine ?
Cheers Boss, you're about the 10th person now to say that, I'll add you to the list.
@@acivilconversation18 the weird way of talking singing?
the main stand needs a top tier as it add another 15k.
supposedly it's not possible as it would block light preventing the grass from growing. not sure how much I believe it especially in 2022 where technology has advanced.
Isn’t the main stand a listed building? We’re not allowed to knock it down.
@@michaelfern4079 The penalty experts in the west managed to add an extra tier onto their main stand so surely it's possible.
A half empty stadium, half the time, would not be good. I think it looks good as it is, and the sunshine you do get from that lower stand is much nicer than a bowl.
Fanny
Who's she?
I was loving this till the end ffs 😭😭
Great video, and I really hope we at least keep our results in Europe somewhat respectable this season
I'm only joshing :P You guys go straight into the UCL group stages so I'm sure some incredible European nights are on the horizon.
“Sectarian derby” is pretty slanderous
Ah ok.
@@acivilconversation18 Yes, you have hurt all of our feelings. 🥺
But accurate let’s face it!
Love the song by VAN MORRISON released 2921 "WHERE HAVE ALL THE REBEL"S GONE ?..A fEW lINES COULD be bandied around but what a chorus!!! paradise ! 60 thousand fans belting out the chorus that would be something !but Only if by kind permission BY The POE/TIC Champion .WHAT A GRACE ...Hail! Hail
***2021
@@john.mcsharry5741 Sounds like quite the sight, thanks for sharing Jono,
Cambuslang, nightmare thinking about that.
They've got a good Wetherspoons there though
Who is Jock Stine ? 😂 get it right ffs 🤦♂️
Sorry Todster, I must have been thinking about German beer at the time.
Enjoyed this donno why it popped up at 2:35 but yeah good vid, didn't appreciate the comment at the end but only as I'm a celtic fan, still gave me a wee chuckle will watch somemore content. Enjoy
Cheers for the comment Kenzie, much appreciated. Congrats on your title win, won't have to worry about qualifying for the Champions League either.
All in good fun, contents good amigo glad you popped up.
jock STINE???? FFS.... also drop the sectarian divide
I see you're keeping me on my toes. Thanks mate!
Perhaps more fans can drop that too.
It's a dump.
Why's that Stevo?
Another great video mate. You always make me laugh at least once in everyone of you're videos I've watched so far
I appreciate your kind words thanks very much. I'm glad you enjoy the videos. Who's your team?
@@acivilconversation18 you're welcome :) Atherton colls, was Leigh RMI untill they folded . How about you?
@@oggyoggyoggyoioioi7147 Oh wow, I've got family who live in Atherton, went to see them against Salford earlier in the season, now that's a very old school ground. I'm a Bolton fan (so close by)
@@acivilconversation18 no way! I was at the game too.I could have seen you and not even known haha. We share alot of fans with Bolton so always had a soft spot for them. Even had a young keeper on loan from wanderers this season, called Luke Hutchinson. Lookd like he could be a very good keeper in the future
@@oggyoggyoggyoioioi7147 That's awesome. Let's hope next season is a good one!
Record attendance is actually 92000 👍
You got a source for that JC?
@@acivilconversation18 Celtics official website. Also the tour of Celtic park and funnily enough Hampden both mention it
From Celtics website :
PARADISE PULLING POWER
This was Celtic Park’s biggest official attendance with 92,000 inside the ground for the Ne’erday derby on January 1, 1938. Some sources credit the attendance as 83,500 but, with the ground capacity estimated at over 88,000 and more than 10,000 locked outside, it would seem that the larger number is nearer the mark. That same day, Queen’s Park were playing Third Lanark at Hampden and it’s thought that the overflow from Celtic Park swelled that crowd to 25,000. In the game itself, two goals from John Divers and another from Malky MacDonald (below) gave the Hoops a 3-0 win. Exactly a year later to the day, a British record for a league game was set when Celtic visited Ibrox and played in front of 118,730
@@Jimmy_Cooper Great investigation work there Jimmy!
With all the bigotry and IRA terrorised songs that’s sung there how is it amazing. Unless you like that kind of stuff. Not a place to take your children. You don’t want them to be brought up like that.
But what about the atmosphere eh Bobby.
@@acivilconversation18 Plenty of that in your house with the hatred. Poor children.
Yet people in Scotland support William Wallace even when he killed innocents etc. The IRA believed in the freedom of Northern Ireland from British control and a majority of Celtic fans dislike unionism so the songs are all stuff they believe in. The songs aren't sectarian, especially compared to the "Billy Boys" and other songs sung at Ibrox.
@@wizardmortal1223 I urge you to watch a film called spotlight. And watch the credits at the end. Then get back to me with what you think.
Come on the hoops cos Glasgow green and white up the ra
Never been green and white ya wee fanny and never will be 🤫
Love the passion Robbo!
It's built by secrets and children's tears a peadophile ring like no other glasgow celtic peadophiles and big jock did know 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
First press box in a stadium in Britain.
Celtic breaking records on and off the pitch since 1888.
GLASGOW CELTIC THE BIGGEST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL CLUB IN SCOTLAND.
HH
Love the passion David!
No Rangers are.
