This was to be my first ever match and I was off to Parkhead, home of Glasgow Celtic. Sitting where the Green Brigade now call home, I was mesmorised by the scale of the Stadium and the atmosphere of the crowd. (immediately heading home to play on ISS on N64 at the time, trying to recapture the experience of the day)

Picture from (thecelticwiki)

Back in 1997, Celtic park was under renovation with a temporary stand making the approach to the stadium all the more of a sight to behold. As if a huge slice had been taken out, it gave you a real sense of scale, making it all the more impressive.

unfortunately back in 1997, mobile phone and cameras weren't about so I never got any footage or picture :-(
