Tom Grant’s Celtic Park Photographs from 1996, God Bless this Lovely Land

OVER the previous pages we have been taking you through the building work at Celtic Park in the first four months of 1995. The photographs we have been showing you of the reconstruction work and before that the demolition of the old Paradise were supplied to us by the former Celtic Director Tom Grant who wanted to get these images out to let the Celtic Supporters see, share and enjoy. Hopefully we have managed to do that successfully for Tom, who unlike some of the old board, still goes along to Celtic Park for every game.Now we are going to jump forward to mid May 1996 and the new Paradise is really coming together. You’ll love these photographs!…

And so onto today’s photographs, supplied by Tom Grant, and we’re looking at the state of play in the reconstruction work in May 1996. God Bless the Lovely Land…

  1. 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.

  2. what a transformation all that needs done now is to do the main front stand in future looks a bit out of place now need the full stadium same height i know front part of it is listed but im sure it can be worked around make stadium bigger we got a massive following so be no problem filling the seats
