The home of Glasgow Celtic Football Club, commonly known as paradise to supporters of this famous football club. Celtic were the first ever British team to win the European Cup, and they did it with a pool of players all born and bred within 40 miles of this stadium. It's now one of the biggest and best arenas in Europe to watch a match, or even have a meal and it now boasts one of the best Museums dedicated to football in this country. Celtic have a fanatical following and you can often see celebrities jetting in from all round the world to watch them, including Rod Stewart, Billy Connolly, Simple Minds and many others.

If you can, get to see an Old Firm Derby (football game, Rangers v Celtic). Tickets are very hard to come by, but if you get the chance don't miss it.
Unique qualities? Sectarianism, religious bigotry, centuries of hate, obscene outbursts of abuse that Irvine Welsh couldn't make up - and that's just the players. Leave a Comment Directions: Ibrox or Parkhead. One's as bad as the other. If, however, you're unaware of the religious aspects of this game, your selection could be like Russian Roulette with one bullet and two chambers.Other Contact: Once in the ground, act like a c

Go and see Celtic FC win at home!!
It won't be quite the same these days, what with all-seater stadiums etc, but there's nothing like the thrill of watching the Bhoys netting a few... especially if they're giving Rangers a good thrashing at the time!!! Leave a Comment Directions: Celtic Park is in Parkhead, in the East End of Glasgow, out London Road. I'm sure there's ample public transport, but I used to enjoy the buzz of walking from Queen Street StationOther Contact:

Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to go to a football match but I think if you get a chance you shouldn't miss a match! Preferably a Celtic one...
Glasgow is a football crazy city. The teams of Celtic and Rangers are huge rivals so if you get a chance to see a Celtic vs. Rangers match it's probably the best experience! Leave a Comment Directions: Celtic are playing at Celtic Park, Rangers at Ibrox Stadium.Other Contact:

Alright let's face it, there's no way you're gonna get a ticket to an Old Firm on your vacation. The tickets don't even go on public sale because they're all bought by season ticket holders.
Unless you pay extreme over-prices on e.g. the internet (as much as ý1000 has been paid!) there's more or less only one way to get to watch the match live.
Go out to the arena and ask out loud in the crowd for spare tickets. I did so. I went to Ibrox and since I'm a Celtic fan I went for the stand called "Broomloan". Well, you'll notice which one it is on all the green and white people. 20 minutes of random asking and I got my precious ticket. Since it was ten minutes before kick off the guy was just happy to get his money back, why I did NOT have to pay ý300 like another guy but the ý27 it actually costed.
This is no fool-proof tactics though. Of all who tried during the year I was in Glasgow I was the only one who succeeded to get in, and a friend of mine tried a couple of weeks ago and failed. But it's sure worth the effort if you succeed and if you don't there are plenty of pubs nearby in which you can watch the match never the less. Leave a Comment Address: Ibrox Stadium or Celtic ParkDirections: Ibrox - Subway to the station Ibrox or bus 3, 9, 54, 55, 56 from city centre. Celtic Park - Bus 43, 46, 89, 90 from city centre.

Although I am not a soccer fan on a day to day basis I have to say that you can feel the presence of it in the city.
Not the sectarian stories of 30 years ago, just the sheer relevance. It is in the daily press, on the front page, TV and the radio. Go in any taxi and you will hear about which player/manager had what for breakfast on the local radio.
Scenes of rival teams supporters walking around Glasgow wearing Hawian shirts while carrying sun beds to demostrate how well their team are doing in European competitions highlight the humerous way Glaswegians manage this intense subject.
The only thing to top that is the passion of following Scotland both in Soccer and Rugby. The national anthem of "Flower of Scotland" being sung just makes you cry. Whether you are from there or not .. you will feel the passion. Leave a Comment
