Now we’ll take you back to the first four months of 1995. The construction workers returned to their work after the Christmas holidays and over started work on building the Paradise we all know and love today.
The transformation from building site to a 60,000 seated stadium beginning to emerge over this period is astonishing really.
After we get to the end of April 1995 you’ll start to see the early photographs – all taken by former Celtic Director Tom Grant, who worked as Fergus McCann’s right hand man in the re-building of Paradise after the successful removal of the old board – of Celtic Park really taking shape.

I consider myself privileged that i lived during the era of the jungle, was no better place in the ground especially to be especially victories over them.
