Do you remember your first visit to Paradise?

I'm hazarding a guess around 82, remember a couple of games.so not sure what order, I'm thinking it was Dundee and St Mirren. In the main stand. My Dad took. E and my cousin who would become a Rangers fan.

 

I'll never forget it - I (genuinely) nearly puked with excitement!

 

Going way back here. Was the pre season 1967/68, I was 7 years old and my older brother John (RIP) shouted me in and I got sent to wash my face and put on a clean top. Don't ask, the older guys will have had the same wee maw...

It was a friendly but I'm not sure who against, tempted to say Patrick Thistle. I remember we had the 5 trophy's we had won the previous season including the BIG cup, lined up across the half way line on display that evening.

I near wet myself with excitement when he lifted me over. Poor * had to do this for the next 10 years just about

I think I did wet myself when he pointed towards the tunnel and said, who's that coming out........... Jinky......one of the highlights of my entire life that moment.

 

Against Hearts in the 2006 season, Gordon own goal won it for us... The only player from that match still playing for us

 

1969. Celtic v Benfica.

 

98/99...don’t recall much about the game but do remember Mambo No.5 being played in the stadium.

Mad how much the surrounding area has changed since.

 

In my profile pic, think i was 4 or 5 was my first time in Glasgow for a celtic game. It was a huns game at parkhead in 84/85 and we won 2-1. Cant really remember the game but remember walking up to it and being in a fat just outside it before the game and the republican march before it. Can faugly remember the centenary new year game few years later. One that ill never forget thou was at Ibrox of all places. If a pic was taken of me, id be like this kid. It was at the skool cup fianl at ibrox. Walking out and teh stadium was full of us in full voice was the loudest ive heard at a stadium.

99% sure this was my first game. Spent years thinking it was the season before.

Edit: Found highlights of it now I’m 100% sure that was my first game. Used to think we won it 5-2 but they had a goal chopped off so that explains that.

 

23rd April 1988, beating Dundee to clinch the title. Remember Andy Walker scoring and celebrating near our area. My cousin and I were on the pitch at the end picking up clumps of grass for mementos. We were 10. Celtic were 100.
Allegedly 72000 filled Paradise that day.

 

Pre season friendly vs Everton and finished 2-2. Sure Paul Elliot scored a header.

My dad was raging with me as we got a good place to stand and then 5mins later I needed a Pee and we ended up way at the back with all the dafties

 

Celtic 8-1 Suduva. September 19th 2002.

Larsson scored a 13 minute hat trick... Where does the time go?

 

Not really, we played Motherwell (possibly 01/02 season, so I'd have been 8) but remember * all of the game. Most vivid memory is getting lost in the concourse with a Henrik mask on my face and crying to a security lady to find my dad for me

 

Hun game when I was a kid. Remember the atmosphere on the way over on the boat, in the pub before the game being electric
Don’t remember much about the game or the atmosphere at the game as I was awestruck.
Do remember the atmosphere coming out of the ground and on the way home. It was brutal so we must have been humped ffs

 

in the jungle, probably 10?

seen the best midfield player though and the rest is history , ( for me in my era )

 

Mid to late 90s. Jock Stein stand still being built.

Celtic reserves vs Aberdeen reserves with my grandad. I kept asking when my dad was coming on.
