Tour Glasgow's Celtic Park through the years including 1998 rebuild in pictures

It's now been 25 years since the major rebuild of Celtic's Parkhead ground into the world-class stadium we know today.

First opened in 1892 as a home ground for the newly-formed Celtic Football Club, the original Celtic Park featured a main stand, pavilion and terracing with an overall ground capacity of 40,000 spectators, which was expanded to more than 75,000 by the 1930s. Following Celtic’s historic European Cup triumph in 1967, when the club became the first non-Latin team to lift the trophy, there were further renovations, including the construction of a new roof over the main stand, which was finished in 1971.
