Celtic’s support is unrivalled when it comes to atmosphere and following a team through thick and thin.

Celtic named in the top 20 attendances around the world for 24/25 season

Although people outside of Scotland may look down on the standard of football, they can’t knock the numbers that turn up to watch Celtic each week.

According to Transfermarkt, the Hoops had the 16th highest attendance out of every club around the world.

Across the 2024/25 season, Celtic Park had an average attendance of 58,972 supporters. This is higher than some big hitters like Ajax and Manchester City, as well as renowned supporters Boca Juniors, who averaged 52,478.

The attendance is also higher than our Glasgow derby neighbours, who were 30th in the list and amassed a total of 47,954.

Are there plans to expand Celtic Park?

Sections of the fanbase have argued that now is the time for Celtic Park to get an upgrade and even an expansion.

It’s been almost 30 years since the last major renovation in 1998 which saw the capacity increased to 60,000.

There has also been the introduction of safe standing in 2016 and despite there being no concrete plans to expand, it may not be too far away from happening.
