Travel Directions
CAR
From the North

then the A80 Southbound until you reach junction 3 of the M73. Here turn onto the M73 due South for 6 miles. At junction 1 of the M73, turn onto the M74 due West/Northwest. After just over four mailes on the M74, park your car.
From the South
follow the M74 North into Glasgow, stay on the M74 until it goes into the A74. Once this happens, follow the road for just over a mile and park your car.
From the West
Follow the A8, then the M8 Eastwards until Junction 19. Here, turn onto the A814 for 1/4 of a mile, due Eastwards. Then go straight onto the A89 due East for a mile, then carry straight on to the A749, travelling Sotheastwards, for a mile. Turn left onto the A74 due east, and drive for about half a mile before parking.

M8 motoway, at Junction 8 turn onto the M73 South. Follow this for about a mile, then at M73 Junction 1 turn onto the M74 West/Northwest. Follow this for just over four miles before parking your car.
TRAIN
There is a frequent train service running from Glasgow Central and Glasgow Queen Street to stations within walking distance of Celtic Park. Glasgow Central is on the Motherwell line and fans can get off at either Bridgeton or Dalmarnock, where they will then have a ten minute walk to the ground.
It should be noted that the Bridgeton district of Glasgow is notorious for being a stronghold of Rangers fans and the area has seen a number of serious assaults on Celtic supporters making their way to and from the stadium.
Fans using the Glasgow Central line would be best advised to get off at Dalmarnock, the stop after Bridgeton. Glasgow Queen Street is on the Airdrie line and fans should get off at Belgrove.
BUS
The numbers 61, 62 and 64 all pass within close proximity to Celtic Park and travel through the city centre.
FOOT
Celtic Park is approximately 3 miles from Glasgow city centre and anyone wishing to walk to the ground has the choice of two routes.
Walking east along Argyle Street will bring you to a fork in the road at Glasgow Cross where Argyle Street branches off onto Gallowgate (left) and London Road (right).
Following either of these roads will eventually bring you to Celtic Park. London Road passes through Bridgeton and several Celtic supporters taking this route have been subjected to serious assaults in recent years, including the murder of Mark Scott in 1995.
Supporters, especially those unfamiliar with the territory, are strongly advised to avoid the Bridgeton area and if walking to the ground use the Gallowgate route.
Gallowgate has the added attraction of having quite a few Celtic pubs scattered along the route if you get a bit thirsty!
