Glasgow Football

Sport holds a very important place in the heart of Glaswegians and the city has a long history of major sporting events - beginning with the first ever international football match played between Scotland and England in 1872. The three largest football stadiums in Scotland are all located in Glasgow: Celtic Park and Ibrox Stadium are respectively home to the city's two main football teams Celtic and Rangers and the city is also home to Scotland's national football stadium, Hampden Park. The city has a third professional football club, Partick Thistle as well as an amateur club, Queen's Park.

Glasgow welcomes many visitors to the city throughout the year for national and international football fixtures. It is home to the Scottish Football Association and football enthusiasts should not miss the Scottish Football Museum. The Old Firm is the collective name for the rival teams of Celtic and Rangers and these teams inspire fierce loyalty among their supporters.
