Here, 67 Hail Hail provides you with some of the best pubs in Glasgow to watch the Hoops.

Grace’s

Located in the heart of Merchant City, Grace’s is best-known for it’s live music before and after games.

It’s central location means it fills up very quickly but with lots of TV screens dotted around the venue, you’ll be guaranteed to get a good view of the action. Supporters will gather early before kick off and stay late into the night. You could be one of those too.

One of the newer bars in Glasgow, if you’re lucky enough you may bump into celebrity supporters like Rod Stewart, who has been spotted in the establishment a number of times.

Turnstiles/Bar 1888

As far as pubs close to Celtic Park go, you won’t get much closer that Turnstiles.

Officially known as 1888 Bar, fans still call it by it’s original name of Turnstiles, which is due to it’s narrow walkways in the bar and tight spaces.

That doesn’t stop the party though and it’s a popular watering hole, used as the final stop before heading into the ground. If you don’t have a ticket, there are still plenty watching the game there and you can join in with all of the pre and post-match festivities.

Address: 1245 London Road, Glasgow, G40 3HW

Malones

The final one of the suggestions. In comparison to the other pubs in the list, this is one to visit if you prefer to watch the game over a quiet pint, but it still makes for a great atmosphere.

There’s also the added bonus of great food to go alongside it
