    The stadium is very tired looking. Wouldn't take a huge amount of money to make a bit of a difference.

    Like paying for some * paint.

    No. If Celtic approached UEFA and applied to host a European final the SFA can’t object.
    Certain parts of the stadium needs updated before it could host a final.
    Definitely needs full stadium unobstructed views from every seat.
    Asked Celtic park guide about it on stadium tour

    Would think this should be an ongoing project.
    Starting with say the corner where away fans are, when season ends, wouldn't be a big disturbance to just knock that and build a new 2 story corner stand attached to existing stand and leave ready to tie in to next phase.
    In this day and age of pre cast concrete, could this be done in a few months with proper planning?

    The longer it's left the costlier it will be to update.

    People who have looked into the financial comparison between Celtic and Newco rangers regularly bring up the fact that as long as Celtic have 10,000 more seats than newco rangers we will always have a substantial financial advantage over them. So its fairly obvious that if we were to enhance our capacity to 70,000 that financial advantage would become even bigger. We have enough people on the season ticket waiting list to take those extra tickets. For that reason alone I would say its a no-brainer to enhance the capacity of Celtic Park.

    For the greater good of Scottish football it has to happen to help bridge the financial gap with other sides outwith our league and am no even thinking about epl when a say that I’m talking about championship with their recent tv deal

    Surely it would possible, and financially prudent to slap on a new tier above the main stand.

    That * lawell can give his seat up for a few months.

    As @moravcik1888 said, our stadium capacity is what gives us an inherent financial advantage over sevco.

    At the very least, repaint that * piping around the stadium, expand the standing section, and get a Henke statue commissioned.

    I'm all for expanding the south stand and completing the look of the stadium.

    But see if they are gonna keep refusing to push on with that idea, then at least get the finger out and properly modernise the stadium.
    It's 30 years old now, excluding the south stand.

    About time it got proper money spent on it to bring it up a level.
