Tour summary – A mainly flat walk on pavements. There is one steep hill and some walking on grass. Tour cost – It’s
FREE OF CHARGE.
Although Celtic’s home is in the East End of Glasgow, some of the club’s greatest days have come in the city’s Southside. The most obvious is Hampden Park. Not only the location of many cup victories, including Scottish Cups and League Cups, this has also been Celtic’s home venue on different occasions.
However there are many other places too, including the second Hampden Park (now called Cathkin Park). This was where Celtic first beat Rangers in the Scottish Cup Final, amongst other events. It was also where Hibs won the 1887 Scottish Cup, a crucial event in Celtic’s foundation.
Just a bit further north is the original Cathkin Park. This witnessed Celtic’s first away loss, but saw happier moments too, especially the 1902 British League Cup victory over Rangers.
The tour considers sadder days too. The old Victoria Infirmary (now flats) was where John Thomson died in 1931 after a tragic on-field accident at Ibrox.
The full tale of these sites – and many more – are all part of the walk.
