Glasgow is well known throughout the football world for its three major stadia, all of which have been redeveloped in recent decades.
Development at Celtic Park followed after Ibrox (NS56SE 121) the original ‘new’ stand on the south side being built in the 1970s and the others surrounding the ground were completed in stages up to 1998 using conventional cantilevered roofs. An unusual feature of an earlier development at Celtic Park (North enclosure, West and East Terracing now demolished), was a moveable column support hinged and parked at roof level at the front of the roof. In times of high winds the column could be lowered and fixed at ground level to provide extra support. The stadium was modernised in the 1990s.
