The old stands gone, but the legendary Jungle, terracing and atmosphere of the pre-1990s Celtic Park will never be forgotten. Hail! Hail! Subscribe for more Celtic Videos!
I went twice to park head about 30 odd years ago, both for testimonials, absolutely brilliant crack, went with a good few mates, London road tavern, Celtic supporters club, pub called Toby jug , I think, never forget it, Celtic are my second club, as it is to all my mates! 👍☘️🇮🇪 Salford
im a gers fan but i can appreciate the history and romance of other clubs. i can also comment without resorting to the usual vitriol that accompanies such responses. my closest friends are "tims" so why would i alienate them by making remarks that would hurt them. i enjoy watching old films of not just celtic but all glasgow clubs. i've been to countless euro cup ties at parkhead bcos the atmosphere was always hairs on the back of your neck good. i just love football and the rangers. god bless
rosbo69.. shame that you haven't had a response from anyone in 5 years.. liked what you said.. to much nastiness on both sides these days and it is getting sickening!
I grew up in the 60s,stood in the Celtic end, some of the greatest days of my life,moved to London in 72,but still remember those heady days of watching the Lisbon Lions.
I can remember the old Celtic Park when i used to climb the pylon to get a good view and be lifted over the turnstiles with my father. Wish football would go back to the good old days
I remember going to games in the 70s, 80s,90s, and, although I don't go too often now, it still gets me how sometimes you still get the same buzz, same feelings even though the stadium and whole surrounding area have changed.
Michael - each to their own. That old place had soul, I loved it and would swap back if I could... minus the old board of course! Standing at the back of the old rangers (rip) end between 16 and 17 with a big carry oot watching Celtic men play the game - Magic!
What a buzz back in the 80's walking along Janefield st rebel music blasting from the verandahs, only 3 quid entry, the jungle electrified with atmosphere
THATS WHERE I SAW 10 MEN WIN THE TITLE ,BEATING REAL MADRID I WIS 16 IN 79 AND HAD BEEN GOING WA MA DAD FUR TEN YEARS SAW SOME CLASSICS MISS THE JUNGLE WHEN YIR WEE AND CELTIC SCORED N EVERYONE WENT TEN YARDS FORWARD IN A SURGE GREAT TIMES MISS THE OLD PLACE
Goosebumps from this, and I'm a Rangers man through and through. History and tradition is something near-enough dead in football now. Regardless of affiliations; all-seater stadia, corporate ownership, astronomical wages and ticket prices are taking the romance out of what was once a working man's proud sport. It's sad to see. I'm 17, but show me football grounds in the 70's and 80's, terraces bouncing and show me your flashy all-seaters nowadays and I'd take the first option in a heartbeat.
im a united fan but follow celtic too, we stand on the stretford end upper tier but im so glad to hear safe standing is allowed in scotland. bring back football for the working class! germany leads the way
Footage around 2:06 is actually Hampden . Spent many a happy afternoon and evening growing up at the old Celtic Pk , from the mid 70s till 94. Much as I enjoyed it , let’s be honest it was relic and was well past it’s sell by date . The bare minimum was spent on the upkeep of it and by 94 it wa a dump . Good memories , but thankfully that’s what they and the old ground are … memories
@rosbo69 haha brilliant. glad your keepin busy watching old celtic videos and learning our history. must be hard finding something to smile about on the dark side.
That jungle was a better atmosphere than anything in the world, truly spine tingling, the yellow wall isn't even comparable and I'd say its even better than the Casablanca teams. Could get emotional watching this all the memories there but we still have one of the best atmospheres in the world but North African and South American atmospheres are better but there was only one Jungle on the planet nowhere else came close.
There was no better atmosphere in Scottish/British/european stadiums than the 1 you got in the jungle I stood in the middle underneath the TV cameras bit in the middle with the rest of the Royston bhoys so many memories I've cheered, laughed & cried the most standout game my god there's just so many to choose from the 1 game that does come to mind was a time there was no way we were getting into the jungle ,21 May 1979 title decider was a game we had to win problem was we were playing the huns they only needed to draw mind those days you only got 2 points for a win anyway this game had everything goals sending off own goals the bhoys they scored we equalised they bf score again then John Doyle got sent off for a rather high tackle we get a 2nd equaliser then Colin Jackson scored a of 3_2 to the Celts &murdo hit a shot he hoped would go up to the back of the Celtic end but it landed up in the top corner 4_2 no way back for the huns what made this extra special was it was my 1st time I saw us clinch the title tho not to be my last that memory will live with me till my last hh
Great memories but if truth be told,the stadium and the surrounding area was an absolute dump. I often wondered what foreign visitors on European nights must've thought of it. It was post apocalyptic! Not perfect now but Dalmarnock is reborn,the new sports complex is great,Barrowfield is 10 times better than it used to be,the stadium itself is admittedly basic by modern standards but wonderfully atmospheric and the Celtic way just tops it off. Standing at the foot of a Kerrydale St,it truly is a sight to behold. God bless the 'tic!
all I am going to say is that of someone of an age who can remember is that I still quite miss the old ground with it,s vast terraces,it had atmostphere like no other, not that our current paradise is not great and with a big crowd can be just as good but there was just something about the old place growing up that I will always remember ,I know it is mainly a health and safety issue but I wish there was some old style terrancing does anyone agree?.
I remember the times standing with my mates sipping a cheeky wee beaujolais (eldorado, four crown etc.) and having a laugh whilst watching the games. Good days, but I don't miss the streams of piss cascading down the terracing, having to remember not to have a sit down at half time for fear of, ...well, you know. All the same good days.
hahaha, my uncle was telling me stories about the rivers of piss flowing through the mighty jungle. he said that some people were polite enough to piss in their cans once they had finished drinking them.
Cannot beat the old terracing loved the Rangers end 22,000 packed in it was like a home game for us Duke st lad's, favourite game would be our first premier league win at parkhead when Alex Miller hit a screamer into the top corner with seconds to go,the worst that fuckin 4-2 game lol.
the old celtic park had an antique stand you could see the cameras from the jungle or camera,their must be good vidios of the jungle younger fans cant imagine wot it was like the whole place rolled with it or stagerd along.
my granny stayed i kinnear road facing the stand my cousins stayed round the corner in barrafield n would take a fee 2"watch ur motor mister" then they had 90 mins to tan it ,luvd the jungle,just sad my dad n granda werent about 2 take my bruv n son,wullie deanie used 2 let us in 4 hee haw as he was a postie like my dad n granda n he worked at the huns end n the jungle big gate,bless him,
Never understood what genius decided to half cover the Celtic end so Rangers fans could watch dripping wet Celtic fans from the comfort of their covered end!
I think the Celtic end was covered years before the rangers end was. When they got round to covering the rangers end they put a much better roof on it.
I know the stadium had to be modernised but as a child of the 60s, I have to say I preferred the old stadium. And the thrill of seeing the four pylons from London Road as you returned to Glasgow never faded! What a team and what an era that was!
Like you i loved the old stadium, one of my earliest memories is the sight of the pylons as i walked with my uncle up London Road at night seeing the floodlights on, This was maybe around 1970 or so, it was a great era indeed. Many memories that will never be forgotten.
love that song "if you know your history" cos quite blatantly most of the celik fans know sod all about the club. i am a gers fan and i know more than 95% of the tic fans.if you sing the song back it up....
Hopefully the government and sfa will get their fingers out and follow the lead of the Germans and allow a safe standing area in football grounds.REAL FANS AGAINST MODERN FOOTBALL
i spent a good chunk of the late 80's early 90's watching a truely awful run of Celtic teams from the back of the Celtic end at section 4. Low points-there were many but the high points during the dark days are what i remember, watching Paul Elliot show everyone exactly what makes a real CB, beating the huns twice in a week, Jackie scoring 4 against Partizan and being able to watch the game with 20 of your mates, brilliant memories.
you still don't get it .i was being ironic in making the pejorative remark.i know it still comes across as bigoted,i really do,i was answering like with like. alas i'm being branded for this comment when you don't(as i admit not knowing you) personally know me. so as we are at an impasse with this nonsense let me apologise and hopefully this will conclude our short but tempestuous relationship. may your god go with you.
Last competitive game in the Jungle?? Rangers win the Scottish Cup, Complete a 5th treble, and sing the Sash in the Jungle! NO SURRENDER!!! 2 in a ROW!!!
Aye very good your pals are tims etc. You proclaimed yourself not to be a bigot. Even got the definition of the word which includes "someone who, as a result of their prejudices, treats other people with hatred, contempt, and intolerance on the basis of a person's....Race,...Religion" The two i've mentioned come under the derogatory word of Taig. Therefore making yourself a bigot.It doesn't make a difference to me wether you are or not,im certainly not closed mined either unlike the GB or the UB
i never visited it, but the old celtic park looks super lame. theres a giant gap between the terraces and the field, must have been impossible to get a good look at the game. the new stadium seems much nicer, although id prefer it if they reintroduced terracing and only had a minority of actual seats. jack the capacity to 100,000 per game.
brilliant,as usual you don,t get the point. i was talking pejoratively as is expected of people who come on these sites.you also assume that i am a follower of rangers. is this because i stick up for the right of the modern day troops to be accepted or is it because i can spell.as for celebrating child abuse....come on the gospel according to john 8:7
read the whole comment and take in the last the last three lines. it may not dawn on your neanderthal brain but it WAS me answering to the baser life forms. john 8:7 read it and learn.
Do you think you'll always be a bigot after you leave school? Hopefully you might get a job, meet a nice girl, settle down, get married and have kids and see the big picture. probably not.
As a LFC fan, I'm always glad to say my second side are celtic, what a great club and set of fans
You couldn't beat The Jungle, i wish it was still there 🍀
Always the main stand but a packed Jungle was a sight to behold.

Great memories of,the jungle as a 14 year old watching celtic win the league in the centenary season,there's only one King Billy that's McNeil

Old football grounds were so beautiful
Great video mate, brings back a lot of memories of the auld place......

Great vid mate!
