Package trip or tickets
When planning your Celtic match experience, you'll need to decide between booking a complete package trip or just purchasing match tickets. Package trips typically include hotel accommodation, match tickets, and sometimes flights or additional experiences like stadium tours. These packages offer convenience and peace of mind, with everything organized for you. They're ideal for those wanting a hassle-free experience or attending special matches like European fixtures. Alternatively, buying just the match tickets gives you more flexibility to arrange your own accommodation and travel, potentially saving money. This option works well if you're familiar with Glasgow or prefer to create your own itinerary. Some providers also offer hotel and ticket combinations without transport, providing a middle-ground option for those who want to arrange their own travel.
Celtic's rivalries
Celtic's most intense rivalry is undoubtedly with Rangers, forming the Old Firm derby - one of football's most passionate and historic rivalries. These matches transcend sport, with deep cultural, religious, and political dimensions dating back over a century. The atmosphere at Old Firm games is electric and tickets are extremely difficult to secure. Beyond Rangers, Celtic maintains competitive rivalries with other Scottish Premiership teams like Aberdeen and Hearts. In European competition, Celtic has developed notable rivalries with teams they've faced repeatedly, including Rangers in the domestic league. The club also shares a special bond rather than rivalry with Liverpool, with both sets of fans united by their rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" and similar working-class roots, though matches between them remain competitive.
