Celtic Football Club & Parkhead Stadium

Celtic Football Club is one of two major professional football clubs in Glasgow, along with Glasgow Rangers. The rivalry between these two Scottish teams is well-known with the pair collectively known as the Old Firm.

Affectionately known as The Hoops or The Celts, Celtic FC was first founded in 1887 to raise funds for charity. The team is based at Celtic Park in the Parkhead area of the city. The stadium has a capacity of over 60,000, making it the largest in Scotland and it is nicknamed "Paradise". With an estimated 9 million supporters worldwide and the highest home attendance of any other club in Scotland, it is no wonder that the terraces of the stadium often ring out with the songs of the supporters, especially "You'll never walk alone" before European fixtures. Parkhead Stadium is also a popular open-air concert venue - bands such as The Who and U2 have played there in the past. Outside the stadium, statues of some of the greatest legends of Scottish football - Jock Stein, the club's founder Brother Walfrid, and Jimmy Johnstone are on display.
