Glasgow: Celtic Park Stadium Tour & Pitchside Access

Summary

Walk the tunnel at Celtic Park and feel the roar of Glasgow football

You’ll follow in football legends’ footsteps at Celtic Park in Glasgow—see inside the dressing room, walk through the players’ tunnel, and sit pitchside with stories from a local guide. Feel the real atmosphere of matchday and catch moments fans never get to see from their seats.

What’s the experience like?

I nearly walked straight past the Kerrydale entrance — you’d think after all those years watching matches on TV I’d know where to go, but nope. The Sports Bar was buzzing with a few early arrivals, everyone clutching their tickets and talking quietly about old games. Our guide, John, showed up with a grin and a green scarf that looked older than me. He started us off with a story about his dad sneaking him into matches as a kid — I liked him instantly.

The main thing I remember is the smell — leather seats in the boardroom mixed with something sharp from the cleaning spray (they keep it spotless). We got to peek into the home dressing room, which felt smaller than it looks on telly. Someone asked if they ever play music before kick-off. John just laughed and said, “You wouldn’t believe what’s been blasted through here.” Walking down that tunnel was weirdly emotional; my heart actually sped up when we stepped out pitchside. It’s not like watching from the stands — you’re right there where everything happens, boots scraping concrete and all.

I tried sitting in the dugout for a minute, just to see what it felt like. The plastic was cold even though it wasn’t that chilly outside (typical Glasgow clouds). A couple next to me argued softly about who was more nervous: players or managers. Honestly? Probably both. There were kids asking questions non-stop — one wanted to know if you could eat crisps on the bench (answer: not unless you want trouble). The whole thing lasted just over an hour but somehow felt longer, maybe because of all those little details you only notice when you’re not rushing.
