Celtic Park has been awarded a five star rating by the Association of Scottish Visitor Attractions, confirming the stadium tour meets world class standards assessed across more than 220 visitor attractions annually.
Celtic revamped their stadium tour and now it has been recognised at the highest level after an independent grading process, with the club confirming the award in an official post.
The five-star rating is part of a national scheme that measures quality across Scotland’s leading visitor attractions.
This is not internal promotion, it is external recognition that Celtic Park operates at a level aligned with the best in the world.

Celtic Park recognition confirms elite visitor experience
The award comes through a system designed and led by Scottish Attractions to deliver consistent standards across the sector.
It is defined as providing consistent world class standards through expert grading, placing any five star venue in a clearly defined top tier.
Celtic Park now sits in that category, which moves the conversation beyond football and into the wider tourism landscape.
Celtic’s global appeal is built on more than football
The stadium tour is built around access, offering visitors the chance to go behind the scenes at Celtic Park while engaging directly with the club’s history.
That history is central to the Celtic tour experience, reflecting why the Parkhead club is recognised the world over.
The rating goes beyond the tour, with visitors also able to access the Celtic Park Sports Bar and Number 7 Restaurant as part of a complete visit.
This is where the five star rating carries weight, because it reflects a full visitor experience rather than a single attraction.
Celtic Park’s status is now measurable, not claimed
The scale of the new grading matters, with more than 220 attractions reviewed annually under the same framework.
That places Celtic Park in a competitive field that extends beyond football stadiums.
It also removes ambiguity, as the rating is based on direct observation through an independent visit.
Celtic have set a clear benchmark
The five star award defines what top level visitor experience looks like within Scotland’s tourism sector.
Celtic Park now meets that benchmark in a way that is externally verified and measurable.
Celtic Park’s five star rating confirms the club’s global appeal is backed by independent standards and not internal claims.
