Where to sit at Celtic Park
North Stand Lower, central blocks around the halfway line (approx. 105-107)
Side-on, elevated and central, giving the most balanced view of the full pitch and both goals; some of these lower blocks also have heated seats.
Jock Stein Stand Upper (approx. 437-445) or Lisbon Lions Stand Upper (approx. 411-419)
Upper tiers behind the goals are typically the cheapest match tickets while still offering high, clear and unobstructed views across the whole pitch.
Jock Stein Stand Lower (approx. 121-144) and Lisbon Lions Stand Lower rail-seating area
These behind-goal lower areas hold the most vocal home support; the Lisbon Lions safe-standing rail section is the heart of the singing end.
Highest rows of the North Stand Upper (approx. 401-419)
Steep and a long way back from the pitch, so play feels distant despite the panoramic angle.
About Celtic Park
Celtic Park (also known as Parkhead) is the largest football stadium in Scotland, with a capacity of approximately 60,411. It is arranged around four stands: the towering two-tier North Stand (the biggest, holding around 27,000), the Jock Stein Stand behind one goal, the Lisbon Lions Stand behind the other goal, and the older single-tier Main (South) Stand which houses the dugouts, directors and TV gantry. The North, Jock Stein and Lisbon Lions stands wrap around three sides in a continuous two-tier bowl, generating the famous atmosphere, with the loudest home support traditionally in the Jock Stein Stand and the rail-seating "safe standing" section in the Lisbon Lions Stand. The best overall views are from the lower and middle North Stand around the halfway line; the best value comes from the upper tiers behind the goals (Jock Stein and Lisbon Lions upper). Away fans are housed in a corner of the Lisbon Lions Stand at the south-east of the ground.
Scotland's largest football stadium at around 60,000, a steep enclosed bowl renowned for one of Europe's loudest atmospheres, driven by the safe-standing Green Brigade section. Green-clad stands wrap fully around the pitch.
Seating map
This is the map used for ticket sales at Celtic Park. Exact configuration varies by event.
How the venue is set up
Scottish Premiership football (Celtic FC)
The primary use. Full bowl configuration with all four stands open, capacity approximately 60,411. Home support fills the North, Jock Stein and Lisbon Lions stands plus the Main Stand; away fans are allocated a corner of the Lisbon Lions Stand (south-east). The Lisbon Lions Lower includes a rail-seating safe-standing area of around 2,975 places.
European and cup football
UEFA competition matches (Champions League/Europa League) and Scottish Cup/League Cup ties use a similar full-bowl layout. For UEFA fixtures, standing/rail-seating areas are seated as required and away allocations may differ, so block locations for visiting fans can vary by fixture.
Concerts and major events
Celtic Park occasionally hosts large-scale concerts and one-off events (it staged the opening ceremony of the 2014 Commonwealth Games). For concerts the pitch is converted to a standing or seated floor with a stage typically at one end, which can place some seated stands behind or side-on to the stage; check the event-specific map for any restricted-view or reduced-capacity areas.
Seating levels explained
North Stand (Lower & Upper)Lower approx. 101-120; Upper approx. 401-419 (with executive level approx. 201-209 between tiers)
The largest stand, running the full length of the north side of the pitch over two tiers with a row of executive boxes and a restaurant sandwiched between them. The lower tier around the halfway line offers the most balanced, central views; roughly 1,600 seats in the lower section have heated elements operated by a foot switch.
Pros: Side-on, elevated, central views of the whole pitch; premium club seating in the middle tier; some heated seats in the lower tier; covered.
Cons: Highest rows of the upper tier are a long way from the pitch and steep; central premium seats are the most expensive in the ground.
Jock Stein Stand (Lower & Upper)Lower approx. 121-144; Upper approx. 437-445
A large two-tier stand behind one goal, completed in 1998 and named after Celtic's legendary manager. Traditionally home to some of the most vocal home support and noted for clear, unobstructed sightlines.
Pros: Behind-goal atmosphere; clear views from the upper tier; good value, especially in the upper level.
Cons: Behind-goal angle makes judging play at the far end harder; upper rows are high and steep.
Lisbon Lions Stand (Lower & Upper)Lower approx. 110-120; Upper approx. 411-419
The two-tier stand behind the opposite goal, named after Celtic's 1967 European Cup-winning side. The lower tier contains a rail-seating safe-standing section of around 2,975 places and the family area; a corner of this stand houses away supporters.
Pros: Rail-seating safe-standing experience; family-friendly lower areas; behind-goal atmosphere.
Cons: Behind-goal sightline to the far goal; the corner shared with away fans can be busier; standing-style sections not ideal for those wanting to sit.
Main (South) StandPitch/field-level blocks (e.g. FS1-FS7, ES1-ES2, WS1-WS2)
The oldest part of the ground, originally built in 1929 and largely single-tier, sitting low along the south touchline. It houses the directors' box, dugouts, players' tunnel and TV gantry, plus a small number of executive boxes.
Pros: Close, pitch-level proximity to the action, dugouts and players; characterful traditional stand.
Cons: Low elevation means a flatter viewing angle and less of the overall picture; single tier so fewer premium high-up options; smallest stand (just under 8,000).

Seats to avoid & obstructed views
Highest rows of the North Stand Upper (approx. 401-419): Steep and a long way back from the pitch, so play feels distant despite the panoramic angle.
Back rows of the Jock Stein and Lisbon Lions upper tiers: High behind-goal positions make it harder to judge action at the far end of the pitch.
Main (South) Stand low/front rows: Very low, flat viewing angle along the touchline; far corners of play can be partly foreshortened and the overall picture of the pitch is limited.
Stand corners where tiers meet (junctions between North and end stands): Angled, off-centre views and occasional sightline compromise compared with central blocks.
Concert seats in stands set behind or side-on to an end stage: For non-football events with an end stage, some seated stands face away from or to the side of the performance, with reduced or restricted views.
Accessibility & companion seating
Celtic Park provides a range of facilities for disabled supporters on every matchday, including wheelchair-user spaces with companion/carer seating, accessible parking and accessible routes. The club can accommodate roughly 80 wheelchair users on a season-ticket basis plus a smaller number (around 14) on a match-by-match basis. Wheelchair and carer tickets are sold at a concessionary rate. The Celtic Disabled Supporters Association (CDSA) offers free membership and support to disabled supporters and their families.
Where: Accessible wheelchair and companion positions are distributed across the stands with dedicated accessible entrances and routes. Match-by-match accessible tickets and parking should be booked in advance through the club's disabled-supporter ticketing contact rather than general sale; full details and booking are on the Celtic FC Accessible Tickets and Disabled Fans pages, and via the club's accessibility ticketing team.

Frequently asked questions
What are the best seats at Celtic Park?
For the most balanced view, choose the North Stand Lower around the halfway line (roughly blocks 105-107) — side-on, elevated and central, with some heated seats in the lower section. The North Stand middle tier (approx. 201-209) offers premium central seating. For atmosphere over sightline, the lower Jock Stein and Lisbon Lions behind-goal areas are the loudest.
Where are the cheapest seats at Celtic Park?
The best-value match tickets are usually in the upper tiers behind the goals — the Jock Stein Stand Upper (approx. 437-445) and Lisbon Lions Stand Upper (approx. 411-419) — which give high, clear views for the lowest prices. Exact prices vary by opponent and competition.
Where do away fans sit at Celtic Park?
Visiting supporters are housed in a corner of the Lisbon Lions Stand at the south-east of the ground, next to the Main Stand. The size and exact blocks of the away allocation can vary by fixture, especially for cup and European matches.
Is Celtic Park accessible for wheelchair users?
Yes. Celtic Park provides wheelchair-user spaces with companion seating, accessible parking and accessible routes on every matchday, with concessionary pricing for wheelchair users and carers. Accessible tickets should be booked in advance via the club's disabled-supporter ticketing team rather than general sale; the Celtic Disabled Supporters Association also offers free support.
Which stand has the best atmosphere at Celtic Park?
The Jock Stein Stand (behind one goal) is traditionally home to the most vocal home support, and the Lisbon Lions Stand Lower contains the rail-seating safe-standing section of around 2,975 places, which is at the heart of the singing end.
Is Celtic Park covered / does it have a roof?
All four stands are covered, so most seats are sheltered from rain. As with any large open-bowl stadium, seats in the lower tiers and front rows nearest the pitch can still catch wind-driven rain in bad weather. Note the stadium does not have a fully closing roof over the pitch.
Where is the family section at Celtic Park?
Family seating is designated in the lower Lisbon Lions Stand (around areas 115-117), offered to families largely on a seasonal basis, providing a more relaxed environment suited to children and family groups.
