For more on grounds across Parkhead and Glasgow, you can read: Ged O'Brien,'Played in Glasgow' Or the Parkhead History website: parkheadhistory.com/sport/sporting… And, who knows? Maybe building this new pitch will give Celtic ideas for upgrading Celtic Park! 9/9 #Celtic #CelticFC

Just over a mile south from Celtic Park is arguably the most interesting site. Barrowfield Park was once home to Clyde FC. In May 1889, this was where Celtic won the North Eastern Cup, their first competition victory. 8/9 #Celtic #CelticFC

Heading east, Springfield Park was a short walk from Celtic Park. This was the home venue for Strathclyde FC and was used until the 1960s. It was also close to Celtic's Barrowfield training venue, which has recently been upgraded. 7/9 #Celtic #CelticFC

Close to the Glasgow International Arena was the Queen's Recreation Ground. In the 1800s, this venue (found at Nuneaton Street) hosted different sports such as running, horse racing and cycling. It was sometimes used for football too. 6/9 #Celtic #CelticFC

In the modern day, a very obvious sports site is the Glasgow International Arena. This was formerly called the Emirates Arena and was built for the 2014 Commonwealth Games. This hosts athletics and other sports, as well as having a cycling velodrome. 5/9 #Celtic #CelticFC

The new pitch will be at Celtic Park's west side. Another venue close to this was the Nelson athletic ground (also known as the Olympic stadium). This was used for different races (running, cycling and greyhounds) from the early-1900s to the 1930s. 4/9 #Celtic #CelticFC

As well as the current Celtic Park, other pitches have existed locally. The most obvious is the first Celtic Park, open from 1888-1892. It continued to be used for football after Celtic moved. After this, it became flats and an Irn Bru factory. 3/9 #Celtic #CelticFC

The proposed new games area has gone to Glasgow City Council for planning permission. The sports pitch will be run by the the Celtic Foundation. Access will be free for local children. You can get full details here: publicaccess.glasgow.gov.uk/online-appli... 2/9 #Celtic #CelticFC

Celtic have submitted plans to build a "multi-use games area" next to Celtic Park. Located at the west side of the ground, the pitch would be available for local youngsters. Over the years, there's been numerous pitches close to Celtic Park. A thread... 1/9 #Celtic #CelticFC
