History

About Celtic Park

Celtic moved to the present site, a disused brickyard on Janefield Street, in 1892 after the rent on their first ground across the road was sharply increased; supporters volunteered to prepare it, and Celtic won the first match 4–3 against Renton. A journalist’s remark that the move was like “leaving the graveyard to enter Paradise” gave the ground its nickname. The Main Stand dates from 1929, floodlights were installed in 1959, and the ground was oval with large terraces until 1994. Under Fergus McCann it was rebuilt as an all-seater: the North Stand opened in 1995, the East (now Lisbon Lions) Stand in 1996 and the Jock Stein Stand in August 1998 with a match against Liverpool, at a total cost of about £40 million.

Seating layout

Celtic Park seating plan & capacity

The North, Lisbon Lions and Jock Stein stands form one continuous two-tier bowl round three sides, with the single-tier Main Stand on the south side. Rail seating was installed in the Lisbon Lions Stand in 2016.

• North Stand

  Two-tier side stand of about 27,000, opened in 1995; part of its upper tier is cantilevered over the Eastern Necropolis cemetery.

• Lisbon Lions Stand

  East end stand of about 13,000, opened in 1996 and renamed in 2000 after the 1967 European Cup winners; it holds 2,975 rail seats, and away supporters are placed in its south-east corner.

• Jock Stein Stand

  West end stand of about 13,000 on the former West Terracing, opened in August 1998.

• Main Stand

  South side stand of just under 8,000, the oldest part of the ground, first built in 1929; its façade was rebuilt in 1988.
