Scottish Premiership: Ranking The Stadiums From Worst To Best
3. Tynecastle – Hearts
Tynecastle Park is the home of the Heart of Midlothian football club. It has also hosted Scotland international matches, and been used as a neutral venue for Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup semi-finals.
Tynecastle has a seating capacity of 20,099, which makes it the sixth-largest football stadium in Scotland. Hearts have played at the present site of Tynecastle since 1886.
With the opening of the new Main Stand on one side of the pitch, Tynecastle Stadium has been completely re-developed since the 1990’s. Opened in November 2017 the Main Stand is an impressive size, with a capacity of over 7,000 seats.
2. Celtic Park – Celtic
Celtic Park is one of the best stadiums in the whole of the UK. It is probably one of the best stadiums in Europe in terms of atmosphere.
Celtic formed in 1887 and the first Celtic Park opened in Parkhead in 1888. The club moved to the current site in 1892. Its current capacity is over 60k. Three-quarters of the ground have been re-developed over the years greatly improving the overall look. The ground is totally enclosed, with the three new sides being two-tiered.
Celtic Park has been used as a venue for Scotland internationals and Cup Finals when Hampden Park was unavailable. Celtic Park hosted the opening ceremony of the 2014 Commonwealth Games and has also been used for concerts.
1. Ibrox – Rangers
The home of Rangers, Ibrox is the third-largest football stadium in Scotland, with an all-seated capacity of 50,817. In terms of overall rating, it is the best stadium in Scotland.
Ibrox Stadium was mostly re-developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s with three new stands being constructed. Only the Main Stand on one side of the pitch remains of the old Ibrox. This stand has also been refurbished and in 1994 a third tier was added to it.
Ibrox hosted the Scotland national football team when Hampden Park was redeveloped in the 1990s, and three Scottish cup finals in the same period, and has also been a concert venue.
