For football fans from across the pond in America, the Premier League tends to be the main attraction. However, as most Celtic fans are currently discussing online following the 4-0 mauling of Newcastle United recently, there is far more to the beautiful game than the English Premier League. Americans should seriously consider watching Celtic in action in this part of the world.


A trip to Scotland is worth doing anyway, with Glasgow arguably the finest city in the United Kingdom. Whether you agree with that statement or not, it’s hard to deny just how special a Celtic match can be. While American fans are used to the half-time shows in the NFL, with many people also selecting fantasy teams and assessing NFL odds, the experience on offer at Celtic Park is entirely different. Put, nothing quite like it is on offer in the United States of America.


So, with that in mind, below are some key reasons why more American fans should watch Celtic in action and join the club’s loyal supporters for what promises to be an unbeatable football-watching experience. Please make no mistake about it; it’ll be one of the best sporting adventures of their lives.


An entertaining spectacle


First and foremost, whether you’re in attendance for a fierce encounter against Rangers or you’re there for a big game against Aberdeen, you’re likely to witness a hugely entertaining spectacle. Games in Scottish football tend to be filled with goals and end-to-end matches, making for a genuinely entertaining feast of football. Where Premier League games can be dull, and teams tend to cancel each other out, Scottish football is far more fun overall, and you’ll witness some excellent footballers put on a show.


The best fans in the world


Additionally, alongside the action on the pitch, American fans can sit among the world's best fans. Celtic fans are always behind their beloved team, and the electric atmosphere at Celtic Park is well-known among football supporters in Europe. For American fans who are perhaps more used to attending MLS fixtures and watching Champions League matches from the comfort of their own homes, they won’t have experienced the type of passion on display at Scottish football’s most famous club.





A strong community feels.


Another enticing opportunity for visiting supporters is feeling part of a huge Celtic community. With all fans typically coming from Glasgow, you’ll see green and white all over the city. Likewise, local businesses are booming thanks to the custom they get on a match day, there are regional players the fans adore, and the club has a strong commitment to working in the local area and teams up with some fantastic local charities. With football supporters in England feeling even more detached from the clubs they support, Celtic fans are lucky to have such a strong community feel associated with their special club.

As soon as a potential new fan enters Celtic Park, they’ll feel a real sense of history. The club has won everything, including being the first British club to win the European Cup in 1967. Also dominating Scottish football, the club’s rich history is quite remarkable.


They’ll get the bug


Once an American fan has sampled a big match at Celtic Park, they’ll almost certainly get the bug from there. It’s common, with many sports lovers struggling to replicate the same type of experience at one of football’s finest clubs.
