About Parkhead

  • Celtic Park, the home of Celtic Football Club, has a capacity of over sixty thousand and is one of the most atmospheric football grounds in Europe. Celtic was founded in 1887 by Brother Walfrid, a Marist Brother, with the primary aim of raising money to feed the poor children of the east end of Glasgow — a mission rooted in the Irish Catholic immigrant community that had settled in the area. The club became the first British side to win the European Cup when they defeated Inter Milan 2–1 in Lisbon in 1967, a team forever known as the Lisbon Lions. The Parkhead Forge shopping centre, which stands on the site of the former Parkhead Forge steelworks — once one of the largest in the world — is a reminder of the area's industrial past.
