Thu Jun 25 2009no stadium comes close to paradise for atmosphere.
by timmcc
Wed May 07 2008No atmosphere beats it...67500 fans with the scarves up in the air singin you'll never walk alone. There's a reason it's called PARADISE.

Sat Apr 12 2008A decent stadium unfortunately in a poor area. How ever especially in big european nights its one of the best sdadiums bar none in the world. The fans are friendly, the stadium is full of passion and proud football fans. Its a pity from the responses below they seem to be full of rangers fans trying to rubbish what is a world renound fantastic place to go and watch a football game.

Mon Oct 23 2006Being a season ticket holder and a fan and follower of Celtic football club since 1964, I obviously have no hesitation in giving "Paradise" a 5 star rating. The atmosphere during a Champions League match has to be experienced to be believed. Celtic have the best fans in Europe - nay, the world.

Thu Apr 13 2006reading the stuff that is on here is typical rangers fans, they never dissapoint, pure bile as usual, you would think they would get a life , as for forza juve, I think you will find he wears white socks and is keen on walking, as for celtic park far and away best in scotland, and only second to old trafford

Fri Mar 24 2006Amazing stadium, amazing atmosphere, amazing fans. Fans recently voted the best in the world by FIFA and UEFA for their friendly behaviour at home and abroad. Celtic FC was originally founded as a charity to help the poor and underprivileged in Scotland regardless of race or religion. At the time this included many immigrants from Ireland, hence the link to Ireland. However, Celtic FC is, and always will be, a Scottish club, open and welcoming to all. Also, not all Celtic fans are Catholic, contrary to some of the posts below. I am a Scottish, Protestant Celtic fan (who cannot fathom what religion has to do with football anyway) and know of many other non-catholic Celtic fans. Disappointed to see so many bigotted and unjustified negative comments by certain Rangers FC fans. Would like to point out to neutrals that not all Rangers fans are anti-catholic bigots, however, unfortunately there are enough bigots within their support to warrant a current UEFA investigation and probable prose...

Wed Mar 15 2006cheap lego gone wrong and a haven for people who think they are Irish, think they discovered you'll never walk alone and think they are more important than what they actually are. Decent sized club in a small nation... but the world is full of those, so they are nothing special. Like to glorify the deaths of their own countrymen at the hands of terrorist murderers also.

Wed Mar 15 2006I am a Football supporter. I have travelled to many Stadia throughout Europe, including the Nou Camp, Old Trafford, Bernabau, Anfield and Ibrox. This is by far the worst Stadium I have had the mis-fortune to visit. It is poorly built, during my attendance at no point did I feel safe. Underneath in the concourse area, it is poorly lit, badly built and planned and the walls that are painted are harsh on the eye it is also located in derilect area. Our supporters bus was attacked as we entered the parking area, and I found the supporters abusive to me and my fellow supporters. Scottish football fans waving Irish flags and scarves left me confused as it is not the flag of either your country or Britain. Also the choice of songs left me baffled as well as the flags of a foreign country, singing about the death of Prodestants and your Queen. I am a Roman Catholic, and I would be shamed by my local church and family if I indulged in such singing against another relgion or world leader. Very ... Read more

Wed Mar 15 2006typical of the psuedo irish to hijack some poll in a vain attempt to make it appear everyone loves them. Next time anyone(not an old firm fan) is at the Brendanbeu(celtic park) ask them what their UEFA star rating is. Ask them why they are such bad losers to the point they booed in Seville as PORTO(yes porto ladies and gentlemen) lifted the UEFA cup, they launched themselves from the top tier of the pigsty in a vain attempt to have the game abandoned, they pelted referee Hugh Dallas with coins which severely cut his head and then proceeded to smash all the windows of said referees home, they invaded the pitch with the intention of harming other players, They threw 100s of lbs of bananas onto the pitch when the first black player in Scottish football(Mark Walters) made his debut. Ask them what it was Big Jock Knew about(if you don't know its child molesting) Ask them why they continue to fly the flag of a foriegn nation and that most of their fans think that drinking a pint of guiness m...

Tue Mar 14 2006This stadium is perhaps the worst I've ever visited which is owned by a major club. With every passing year, it's failings become further apparent. There is really no excuse at all, for such a relatively big-named club to be playing their home games in such a dreadful venue.

Wed Nov 30 2005the greatest stadium in scotland and 1 of the top 3 in britain
by dave_don
Wed Nov 30 2005Really neglected and shoddy stadium - unfinished in appearance and tatty in comparison to IBROX which has been accorded five-star status by UEFA. How many Stars does this pigsty have? None - it does not feature in the Euro listings because it fails to comly with so much of required criteria. A shambles that is falling to bits.
by arrdeearr
Sun Aug 28 2005A Pig sty of a place, it doesnt even deserve the title of stadia. It has been the place of Scottish footballs shame for the past 30 years. ask big Jock coz apparantly, he knows why! In recent years, the stadiums roof has been unstable, the incline on the seating is at a dangerous level and the need for meccanno style architecture justs wrecks the City of Glasgows skyline. As far as matches go, well there has been no end to Celtic fans throwing missiles at the officials, when the Rangers beat them (on a regular basis). The fans, shamefully sing alot more sectarian vile, which the BIAS press mask and the players themselves get away with it, namely Neil lennon (Constantly taunts the Rangers support), Jackie Macnamara (why play ROI in a friendly if hes Scottish born and bred? BIGOT), Stephen Pearson (Why choose to play for Ireland? Biting out the hand that fed him? not only that, hes a BIGOT), and recently the Club have once more brung shame on our league by bringing out a Green, White ... Read more

Mon May 30 2005Why is there beams connecting from the roof? There shouldn't be any need for this in modern day stadia, seems strange to have a sliding roof and this in place. Good atmosphere until the opposing team score (liverpool in my case) This triggers a sponsored silence for the rest of the game. Wasn't impressed with the catering either. Not enough coverage for the number of fans that attend the games, not well thought out by Celtic when constructing the place, and don't start me about the exits from the ground either. This was the third ground I had visited in Scotland and the least impressive (although I have been in worse), Aberdeen and Rangers being the other two grounds. Give me YNWA at Anfield any day.

Fri Apr 08 2005Built on a limited budget and it shows. Unclean feeling inside. Funny how their fans continuously go on about their proud Irish heritage and their proud Irish roots, but you don't see them going to Eire now do you, nope they are still in the United Kingdom. Very poor atmosphere especially when things aren't going their way, best fans in the world, don't make me sick.
by impassive
Fri Apr 08 2005Terribly sad story this I'm afraid. Much like the current team, the stadium has the look of an ageing rock star. It is shabby, dirty and in need of a serious financial injection. Unfortunately, the Chairman has the shortest arms and deepest pockets in world football, so don't hold your breath. The National Trust for Scotland may be the best (and only) hope.
by solidger
Fri Apr 08 2005wall to wall of hypnotic breezeblock pattern, ducking pipes about a foot over your head, yes if this indeed is paradise i would hate to see the hovels the home fans crawl out of, tries to be innovative by trying out modern activities, however the famous bungee jump in 99 from the top tier wasnt to successful, kids aint safe here so just dont do it!
by bassyrfc
Fri Apr 08 2005a cheaply built stadium,vile i.r.a songs sung by fans.these fans dont like it when they are losing known to throw missiles at opposing players .the boys club at celtic have been involved in child abuse on the kids team,one place to keep your kids away from
by edward_badabing
Fri Apr 08 2005The only stadium made from recycled human waste, the giro-dome sways to the rythym of the bouncy. Roof has been know to blow until green duck tape used to reinfirce it.

Fri Apr 08 2005Celtic park is a horrible stadium. As for the fans, well they like to spit and throw missiles at the players and referees. Enough said really!

Mon Jan 10 2005Nicknamed PARADISE this truly is PARADISE with a marvellous friendly vocal support.Walk on sung by 60,000 Celtic fanatics has to be the greatest sound in world soccer.A warm welcome awaits you and you will fall in love with THE FAMOUS GLASGOW CELTIC before you leave the stadium
by superreds
Thu Jan 06 2005I'm not a supporter of either Celtic or Rangers, but have visited both stadia. There is no doubt that Celtic Park is the better of the two. Better songs, sung louder for longer. Friendly atmosphere.
by chelsea_blue
Thu Jan 06 2005Have been there when Celtic played Rangers (1-0 victory for Celtic in last minute) and a Champions League game versus Anderlecht from Belgium (3-1 for Celtic). Easily the most impressive football arena I've visited, in terms of atmosphere and stadium layout. Once they upgrade the old stand to same size as others, it will be truly awesome.
by ennaoj
Wed Jan 05 2005So good they let a replica of the European Cup reside here. Great facilities, amazing fans, best manager and holds 10,000 more fans than Castle Greyskull!! All in all an fantastic arena for football.
by andy1888
Wed Jan 05 2005Almost every team to visit Celtic Park (from AC Milan to Barcelona, Bayern Munich to Liverpool) say it's the best atmosphere they've ever experienced. Not surprising given that FIFA and UEFA have both officially recognised that Celtic fans are the best and most fair-minded in the world. It saddens me to read some of the bigoted comments posted here by Rangers fans and right-wing extremists, attacking Celtic's proud Irish roots, making jokes about the Potato Famine etc. Fortunately, unlike Ibrox, where neo-Nazis sell recruit outside and people sing about being up to their knees in Catholic blood in the stadium, I'm glad Celtic Park is a great stadium for all races, colours and creeds.

Wed Jan 05 2005Top class stadium, for a top class team, with top class fans. Say no more!!
by the_bhoy_wonde_r
Wed Jan 05 2005To quote Martin O'Neill, phenomenal, astonishing, absolutely astonishing. Without a doubt the best sports arena in the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And when Walk on is sung it brings you to tears FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stuff you Ibrox, Old Trafford, Highbury, Stamford Bridge, Anfield, San Siro, Bernabeu and Camp Nou, Paradise is the best.

Thu Dec 16 2004The celtic board have chosen quantity over quality a very basic built stadium erected quicker than a two man tent. Sub-standard and very cheap,unlikely to ever make the UEFA grade.

Mon Dec 13 2004Absolute dogs breakfast of a stadium. Crumbling to bits - I give it another 12 months before it is condemned.

Mon Dec 13 2004top of the league in stadia and also in team fans and management unlike those across the city who to put it mildly are scum
by mancred
Mon Dec 13 2004I have visited both major Stadiums in Glasgow in the past two years.Rangers stadium is impressive, but how could anyone rate Celtic park? Is there a sewage works nearby? the night I was there the smell was awful, but the locals seemed used to it, so it must be permanent.
by unbiasasfcuk
Mon Dec 13 2004What a dump. Looks like a Toilet seat built from meccano and it destroys the glasgow Skyline. Just imagine if the BFG was walking through glasgow and he was bursting for a scheidt, this is where hed sit - im sure of it. (i think this may be where the smell from the supporters come from) i dont know. Overall a dive of a place, however im sure it would be better used as a plantation for growing potatoes.

Mon Dec 13 2004This stadium looks impressive from a distance but up close and personal it is a dump. It's seats are poorly made and poorly set out, leg room is at a premium, for a relatively new stadium there is a lot of rust on show as well as a lot of painted over rust. The concourses are a nightmare to navigate due to various doors and passageways, the ceilings in the stairwells are low so anyone of a reasonable height has to stoop. Too many pipes and wiring on display. Already this ground has had to have a match postponed due to safety issues (dangerous guttering). It's an accident waiting to happen and the long term existence of this ground without constant and expensive upkeep is a dubious subject to say the least, One of the worst stadiums I have ever visited, And anyone who thinks it has a great atmosphere should listen a little closer to what is being sung. Disgusting.
